5.0 out of 5 stars
enlightening view of the pacific islands and their people, January 29, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: A Tidy Universe of Islands (Paperback)
I borrowed this book from a friend because I really wanted to read something about the history of the islands. Dr. Peck shares a unique, humorous yet respectful rendition of life on the islands starting back in the 50's. His admiration of the people and their way of life is heartwarming and gave me an eye opening lesson on what the islanders lived through during the war years. My hats off to this book and its author.

It's my dad's book, of course it gets five stars!, April 27, 1999
This review is from: A Tidy Universe of Islands (Paperback)
It reads like, because it is, a collection of articles written over the course of a very intersting life. It probably ought to be also filed under Rota and Northern Marianas Islands, since that's where he lives now.
