Passage East

"The photographs and Marshall's own sketches are carefully and intelligently mixed with the text of this entertaining work. Also important is the substantive essay contributed by the famous marine historian John Maxtone-Graham, who has written much about the Atlantic crossing but now offers his own reflections on the 'passage east.'...All in all, this is a worthy work. It is simultaneously a coffee-table book that we would all like to receive from a rich uncle, and a work of superb artistry and scholarship that illuminates one of the fascinating aspects of intercultural traffic during the past century....[T]his is not just a nostalgic essay in imperial, Western history; it is a beautifully captured commentary on part of our disappearing century.Marshall, Ian is the author of 'Passage East' with ISBN 9781574270693 and ISBN 1574270699.
