Product Description

Avatar Dawn: Crisis In Asia is set in Southeast Asia in April-May 1965. This was a time of enormous strife with the Vietnam War starting to dominate the reportable activities in that part of the world. In the surrounding areas, lesser known events were taking place at a time when colonial rule by the French and British was ending and the Communist threat of the Domino Theory was ever mindful to American leaders. Not unlike Europe during World War II, Asia again took a back seat to NATO, but the threat there was just as real. It was a troubled time of Communist insurgency, of mutual loathing between Hindu and Moslem and of hostile aggression towards Westerners. The story, or in this case, stories take place in Bangkok, Singapore, Djakarta, and the mountainous region just inside Burma. It involves adventure, intrigue and concludes a four-book series of one man\'s experiences.
