There's nothing superficial about their reporting--it probes deep and isn't afraid to draw large lessons. Kristof, for example, discusses how China and India's historic insularity have kept those two countries from achieving all they might--cases of "imperial understretch," he calls them, in a nice phrase--and suggests the United States may be entering a similar period. Thunder from the East sparkles with this kind of analysis: provocative, debatable, and worth thinking over. Its riches aren't apparent from a cursory examination, but only through a page-by-page reading. Those who make the effort will be glad they took the time. --John J. Miller

Book Description Map, black and white photographic illustrations, x + 377pp, index, notes, hardback, corners lightly bumped, in very good condition. "From two Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times correspondents, a cutting-edge report on Asia and how its people are shaping the world. In this work, the authors look at an Asia which is bouncing back, an Asia which has paradoxically benefitted enormously from the recent crises and which has the potential to change the world. The book paints a kaleidoscopic picture of Asian life as it is now, through the many people caught up in the swirl of events; people as varied as Salamet, an Indonesian rioter worried about sorcerers, and Son, the billionaire head of Softbank in Japan."
