This review is from: The Voice of Asia (Mass Market Paperback)

This was an interesting Michener book, especially because he evaluates the cultures of the different Asian nations AND their current and potential future relationships with the U.S. Some of his observations haven't held true, but others were quite accuate. His fear of Communism's take over of the weak nations proves untrue (perhpas because of the Vietnam War; Korea was in motion) His observations about the power of Muslim and Chinese cultural movements in the South Pacific Island nations are accurate.
