An engrossing account of China just before the Bamboo Curtain came down, concealing China from Western eyes for a generation. This is the true story of Fred Schroder, American trouble-shooter and camel caravanner whose harrowing travels through Mongolia, Siberia, Tibet and China's Far West, make for rich history and high adventure. He has a shoot-out with a nomad chieftain, encounters living gods, gets involved in two revolutions and one coup d'etat, and explores the astounding Royal Tombs at Xian-- now called the greatest archaeological discovery of our time. Easton writes in the first person, to capture the voice and idiom of the indomitable Schroder -- Back cover.

"When offshore well A-21 blew out, it started a chain of events that reached the highest level of government, and repercussions persist to this day. The Black Tide that endangered the California Coast was slowly and agonizingly checked, and then the long job of salvage began. This is more than an ecology book--it is powerful drama and proof that with courage and perseverance the community can prevail. This story of people in crisis, of politics and power, and of greed versus a community's rights, comes at a time when oil companies contemplate drilling off every coast. All concerned Americans can profit by the lesson of Santa Barbara"--Dust jacket.
