The Problem of the Pacific (Classic Reprint) (Paperback)

Excerpt from The Problem of the PacificThe author of The Problem of the Pacific, a real son of the great ocean, has in this volume so thoroughly sifted what has been written in recent years on the political aspects of it that the present writer would have declined from paucity, of knowledge to respond to the request to write a foreword to this very useful book had it not been that he has spent twenty-eight years of his life in the Pacific, and couse quently is deeply interested in that part of the world, where he has many thousands of friends of different races to whose welfare he can never be indifferent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
