Journey to the Far Pacific

In 1951, while Europe lay under an uneasy calm, five wars and revolutions raged in the Pacific. In addition to Korea, the Communists had incited insurrections in Indo-China, the Philippines, Malaya, and Indonesia, creating a grave new crisis area for the free world. New York's Governor Thomas E. Dewey set out on an extensive tour of the Orient to view conditions at first hand and to form for himself impressions of the peoples and nations who stand between Communism and the California coast. During his trip he traveled forty-one thousand miles, visiting seventeen republics, kingdoms, territories, and colonies. JOURNEY TO THE FAR Pacific is the exciting report of this trip, describing strange and exotic lands vital to our future security.
