THE VOICE OF ASIA

(New York: Random House, 1951).

FIRST EDITION, later issue. A scarce book. Michener, an acknowledged authority, examines and evaluates in human terms the changed outlook of the Asiatic world toward the West.
"Today Asia is of utmost importance to Americans. What happens there may make or mar us as a nation. We need to know what makes Asia tick. I had the good luck to travel to many towns and villages in Asia and to talk with the people about what worried them. I met rickshaw boys and millionaires, peasant farmers and heads of state. They told me about the religious problems, the economic questions and the social revolutions that dirsturb them today. I talked of America and of Russian; and, like people everywhere, they told me some very funny stories about their politicians. In The Voice of Asia I have tried to share with you what the people of Asia told me." - James Michener. Item #28641
