Book Review by Lee-Jay Cho: Random Views of Asia from the Mid-Pacific by William E. Sharp

I very much enjoyed reading Random Views of Asia by William E. Sharp (recently released by Savant Books, 271 pages). This book is a comprehensive collection of more than 50 of Bill Sharp’s news columns, essays, and short pieces written during the last decade. It is largely about China, but includes Japan and Korea and extends to South Asia, India, Pakistan, Central Asia and Russia. It is written in the context of the US from the perspective of Hawaii, geographically in the middle of the Pacific.
