American Waters In Chinese Territory
In this curious travelogue, we begin in Shanghai, when the Yangtse meets the sea. Here, we are told and shown, are American warships, as they have been for a quarter century, safeguarding American property. Then it's up the river with Chinese boats and scenery, a far more typical travelogue of the era, until we reach Chungking, where we are treated -- if it's your taste in treats -- to the base for small-draft American warships, where American sailors travel by rickshaw, but are swift to load shells into naval guns.
If, like me, you first encountered this world in the novel or movie version of THE SAND PEBBLES, you will recognize what's going on, even though the sights and people here seem more chaotic. If not, it's a good first step.
