What happens when a naive eighteen year old newly minted U.S. Marine is dropped into the ancient, exotic, (also erotic) and distinctly foreign environment of the Far East? This book relates the experiences and adventures that occurred during the young man's journey to coping with the Cold War.

Joseph Barry was a cold-war warrior. He entered the U.S. Marine Corps in 1955 at age eighteen and served the next four years in Japan and Okinawa. While he served abroad, the era of Rock and Roll and the hippie culture captured his hometown generation. After attempting to reintegrate, he returned to the Orient as an itinerant student, writer, and wanderer in search of an elusive desire. He met that desire on a boat to the Philippines and married her. She and their son are his companions in Joseph's first book: Across Europe by Kangaroo, ISBN 1-4033-90088.
