Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. x, [4], 465, [1] pages. Map. Index. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. Robert Shaplen was a correspondent and staff writer for The New Yorker magazine whose authoritative articles and books on Asia over many years made him one of the deans of American journalism. He received a bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1937 and a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University in 1938. In a journalistic career that spanned five decades, Mr. Shaplen was a reporter for The New York Herald Tribune and an Asia correspondent for Newsweek, Fortune and Collier's magazines. For the last 36 years, he had been on the staff of The New Yorker, and was the magazine's Far East correspondent from 1962 to 1978. He was the author of 10 books. From the battlefields of World War II, Korea and Vietnam to the jungles of Cambodia and Laos and the teeming byways of Hong Kong and Singapore, Mr. Shaplen covered a troubled and turbulent region of the world. He plunged ashore with the Marines on Leyte in the Philippines in 1944. He flew over Nagasaki hours after it was devastated by the atomic bomb in August 1945. ' He was with Mao Zedong in the mountains of Yanan in 1946; reported on the rise and fall of Indonesia's President Sukarno in the 1960's; wrote strategic and battlefield pieces from Korea and Vietnam and, in 1973, provided a gripping firsthand account of the fall of Saigon. His last book, ''Bitter Victory, '' published by Harper & Row in 1986, was an account of his 1984 journey to Vietnam and Cambodia, and the last trip of his life was to Vietnam only a month before his death. The author addressees Southeast Asia in context and then has sections on Indonesia, Singapore-Malaysia, The Phillippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. His final chapter is on The United States After Vietnam.
