Clark was one of the last explorers. An OSS agent behind Japanese lines in China during the war, he went into Tibet after the war and "The Marching Wind" is his story of that adventure; read this and you will understand why the Chinese will never truly conquer Tibet. He went thence to Peru where he became the first white man to explore that mysterious rain forest called the "Madre de Dios" at the edge of the Amazon Basin in Eastern Peru. Pray that you never encounter the fearsome fer-de-lance. Regards, J.R.
