Strange Lands and Friendly People by Justice Douglas
A critical 1951 review of Justice Douglas and his book Strange Lands and Friendly People. The piece praises the journalism style, notes Douglas traveled through Iran Syria Turkey and India, and argues his critique of both U.S. foreign policy and British policy in the Near East is balanced against concern over Soviet influence. It contrasts the book with a film note on Two Worlds.
