Leonard Clark: "The Rivers Ran East" and "The Marching Wind."
Posted by J.R. on June 15, 2004 at 05:20:24:
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.
