Excerpt from Have We a Far Eastern Policy?
As a diplomatist and as an author, General Sherrill does not require to be introduced to the American public. His books are well known to the lovers of a fascinating branch of art and to those who are interested in international ques tions. In the present volume he displays a com bination of the qualities which characterize his earlier writings, a fine sensibility to form and color, and a grasp of great political issues.
To those readers who have not traversed the Pacific Ocean and Visited its picturesque islands and Asiatic coastlands, this book will be a de lightful voyage of discovery, and even those who have lingered long in the countries described will deem it a privilege to see them anew through the eyes of so keen an observer as General Sher rill. But the chief value of this volume does not consist in the Vividness with which Oriental life and its conditions are depicted, nor in the narrative of the writer's personal experiences. It is a distinctively personal book, but in an altogether different sense.
