John Fitzpatrick. About New China, the Koreas, Myanmar, Thailand, and also about Japanese and Chinese writers and poets. The main emphasis is on North Asia and the political tectonics of this very important, powerful, and many-peopled area.

The most amazing thing I found in my Faceless Bureaucratic years in Queensland Health was a Brisbane based Government set-up called SNAG, and, later, SNAFU. It was a big building with about 80 AO7/8 public servants whose job was to receive, stall, and delay the implementation of Federal Funds for urgent health services until the funds were properly allocated to appropriate political causes of most need to the State government at the time. These folk saw themselves as very good public servants. Ah, the good old days...I guess that has all changed now?
