Before his assignment to India and China as an OSS coordinator in 1943,
Taylor had no interest in China. He "prepared himself" for his
assignment by reading St. Exupery, T.E.Lawrence, and E.M. Forster, as
they were "men who could step out of their own culture into an alien
one and begin to look at their own civilization as foreign...". xiii.
Respectful treatment of Buddhism/Hinduism one is pleasantly
surprised to read from the same author of The Strategy of Terror, the
definitive work on Nazi employment of propaganda -- "psychological
warfare". As optimistic as one on a quest for enlightenment, Taylor
describes the delusions people have about other people. In a 1965
reprise, he finds a "Chinese imperialism with deeper historical roots
and greater potential has replaced that of the Japanese." May strike
some as an apologist for colonial "stability" under color of this
embedded journalism. However, he ventilates facts and understands the
problems of Wendell Wilkie's One World arising from Asia. And he
savages the "sahib disease" -- the pathology which afflicts those
placed in superior positions over others -- particularly in the
segregated clubs of colonialism.
