This memoir describes the doomed marriage of Oliver Lee's Chinese
father and German mother. It then narrates Oliver's childhood in
Germany, China, Mauritius, Iran, and the U.S. His physical travels
were followed by his ideological journey from anti-Communism in his
youth to Marxism in his middle age and robust old age. The
experiences that stimulated this journey include his close-up
observation of Senator Joseph McCarthy's victimization of Owen
Lattimore, who was Oliver's most admired professor at Johns Hopkins
University; Oliver's personal adversity, linked to his FBI file; in
a Federal Government job; his conspicuous early opposition to the
U.S. war in Vietnam; his consequent two-year battle to reverse the
University of Hawaii's decision to expel him; and his ultimate
victory in that battle in 1969, with the help of hundreds of
students and many faculty members
