Richard LaTondre Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 For you folks that are lucky enough to own a "Kindle" Amazon.com has published "The Golden Kite" today. Some of you may find the Chapter on Awards and Decorations of Interest, while others may enjoy the excitement of the longest reconnaisance mission in recorded history.

drclaw Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Just finished reading my copy of the Golden Kite and thoroughly enjoyed it. A wonderful account of a courageous and humane Japanese officer who travels from Berlin to Vladivostok with his faithful horses, whilst composing poetry Along the way, he encounters genorosity in the midst of real poverty; gains an insight into interacial relations among European Russians, Mongolians and Chinese; and experiences first hand the decay and corruption of the Qing Dynasty. For those who haven't purchased a copy from Richard, it is well worth the read. Gavin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
