Discarded Library Book. ISBN 0393056171. LCCN 76-58339. A story of power, money, and the corruption of a Pacific paradise. This book, the story of a fumbling American colonialism, ranges from the White House to the smallest island and treats of the people who made the decisions and why they made them. Such a mad mixture of enlightenment and ignorance, high purpose and cynicism is bizarrely entertaining - but behind it lies a dangerous and important lesson, if we are to avoid the blight that threatens this Pacific paradise. 224 Pgs.
