Title: Unbelievable
Product review: I got this book at a used book sale and it was rather startling. It would be hilarious if it wasn't for the fact that books such as these express beliefs accepted by the scientific and literary mainstream at the time they were written. In other words, the book contains countless musings on the "Yellow Peril" facing "White" civilization, the supposedly sneaky, deceptive, crafty nature of all "Orientals", and so on.The main characters of the book are white male British imperialists at war with an "insidious Oriental". Yet they cannot help being attracted to an Asian woman, who is apparently not herself "racially" capable of returning the "hero's" love in a genuine fashion. It was cartoonish and I actually think this book could be useful for scholarly research as evidence of how bad it really was...and unfortunately is, as the positive reviews by those not "infected" with "political correctness" attest.
