New York : Farrar Straus Giroux, 1970 Book. Fine. Hardcover. Book Club Edition. Fine/Near Fine. Orange boards with gilt titles to spine. Clean, tight edition. DJ has fading to the spine. Map endspiece . Tucked between India dna china is a bulge known as Indochina, and south and west of the bulge are the malayan Peninsula, the three thousand islands of Indonesia, and the seven thousand islands of the Phllippines. The subject of An Eye for the Dragon is this whole, seemingly un-related miscellany of states that reach out from the Asian landmass and look like nothing so much as a man leaning out of the ballooning continent to fling a large armful of litter into the sea. The name of this pattern of land and water is South East Asia..
