Anthony Eden, freshly back from his chat with Yugoslavia's Tito, with his new bride at his side, was cozily reassuring about the global future. "We have gone ahead at a pretty good jog-trot," he said. It remained for the top Tory himself to crow the loudest...
...reporting to the alumni on the impact of partial mobilization on the University. As a year ago, we are still basing our plans on the assumption that the mobilization will be partial not total in the years ahead; in short, that this country will not be faced with a global war.

With regional and global background always in mind, Dewey outlines the particular situation of each country visited. He faithfully records his talks with and impressions of Emperors, Presidents, Prime Ministers, U.S. ambassadors, and military commanders. But he has, at the same time, a surprising eye for telling quirks of Oriental life, for street scenes and countryside panoramas, for the odd, chatty stuff that might find a place in an intelligent tourist's letters home...
