Same here. Also, the second book sticks to the Warramunga as it is entitled "The Skills of the Warramunga". I guess the author's intent is very clear on that them of the series. I didn't know it was until I saw the second book.abbiejoice wrote: ↑26 Feb 2019, 01:40 At first, I thought it only referred to Jacko. But having considered the contribution of Sarah, and also considering how even Jamie has been considered as a Warramunga brother, I have realized that the title really refers to the general theme of the book that coincides with the spirit of the Warramunga.

The end part of the book make me realized it's the warramunga's journey during the war and fighting the other type of war in life.

Yah, sounds like that! I thought that the first book would tackle more on war activities, I realized somewhat it was an overview for the next series. Maybe the next explains the warramungas attributes on ww2.

You're right! I think its more on their journey in ww2 than fighting in battle line. Their own battle is not more on firing the enemies, but chasing them. Still, their role contributes for victory.Shilpa Paul wrote: ↑28 Feb 2019, 00:24 I think the book gets its title from Jacko being from Warramunga. Jacko being the main focus and the action mostly revolves around him and his aboriginal skills.

Speaking of double meaning, it could have been one since when you search for "Warramunga" on google, it will show you a war navy ship.

Actually, it would read "The Warramungas' Wars" if it was referring to the wars both men partook in because it's plural. However, I don't think Jamie can be included among the Warramungas in that title, since Jacko himself is only half Warramunga and is the native one. I'm inclined to think of the title as referring to the entire tribe, but then again it probably would have been "The Warramungas' War." So this means it's all about Jacko himself.NuelUkah wrote: ↑14 Feb 2019, 20:39If the title is referring to the wars that Jacko and Jamie have participated in, then the title would be 'The Warramungas' War', not 'The Warramunga's War'. I think the title refers to the wars in which the Warramunga tribe helped Jacko and Jamie. Therefore, the Warramunga is referring to a people.Popcorn1 wrote: ↑08 Feb 2019, 03:03 In books, the title has a relationship to the story. So, when I started reading the book, I was looking for that connection. I has many assumptions and one of them is: when the Japanese was involved in the war, Jacko and Jaime was sent back to Australia to provide assistance. Then the Warramunga tribe will thus be embroiled in the war. However, as I read further, I found out that my assumption was wrong.
With the fact that Jacko is a half-Warramunga aboriginal and he is currently participating in the Syrian war and World War II, I realized he is the connection. And when Jaime was accepted as the brother of the Warramunga, I came to the conclusion that the title is referring to the wars that Jacko and Jaime have participated in.
How about you? Who do you think is the title referring to and when did you realize it?

MY first thought too. The sound of the name Warramunga just took me straight into the jungle and the primitive but skilled tribal community residing there. Lol.
