The American people have been reduced to nomads living in wagons which they circle each evening to protect their people from being captured by the slave traders. The slave traders steal the healthiest and the strongest and ship them to China where they are sold as slaves. Imagine everything you know about black slavery in America, from the forced labor, to the tortuous beatings, to rape; and apply this to the Americans who are slaves for the Chinese. Did John Hersey write this book as a warning for us, or did he write it to mock us? ... *White Lotus* was written about 1964, not in the early '50's. It was a historical fantasy which asked the question, what would the response of white Americans be if *we* were enslaved forcibly by another race? The book was indeed a warning, but not a warning of the sort that Ru Mills suggests. It was a reaction to the civil rights movement and the emerging black power movement, and it warned its readers that under the same circumstances, *they* might react the way those "uppity negroes" were reacting. It is a very good book, and stands as one of the best works of the 1960's, easily the equal of Hersey's classic *Hiroshima*. Bob ================================= Robert F.
