South-East Asia

His book, Reporting South-Fast Asia, Angus and Robertson (1966) (NZ price 45 -). is a collection of articles written from 1956 to 1966.

Edited and brought up-to-date, they form a valuable journalistic account of developments in Indonesia. Malaysia. Laos. Vietnam. Cambodia and Thailand.

For the general reader who wants to know something about politics in South-East Asia since 1956 this is a useful record, although the book loses much through the disjointed fashion in which the articles are presented.

Although there is a general introduction at the beginning of each section, there's no connecting piece between articles. This would have helped continuity and placed each article in context.
