Abstract
THIS book, in the author's own words, “attempts to define comprehensively the political, strategic, and economic role” of the South Seas in the world to-day. It is written in the manner of a general introduction for the non-specialist reader to a part of the world on which information is not easily available ; but in order to produce it Dr. Keesing has drawn, not only on his own extensive travels, but also on a wide range of literature, including unpublished first-hand accounts, and the specialist too will find in it valuable fresh data.
