The book is a detailed account of Grew's travels throughout the Far East, including China, Japan, and Korea, during the early 20th century. Grew, who was a diplomat and later became the United States Ambassador to Japan, describes his experiences and observations of the people, culture, and landscapes of these countries.The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Grew's travels, such as hunting, fishing, and exploring ancient ruins. Grew provides vivid descriptions of his adventures, from hunting tigers in the forests of Manchuria to exploring the Great Wall of China. He also shares his insights into the customs and traditions of the people he encounters, and provides historical context for the places he visits.Sport And Travel In The Far East is not only a travelogue, but also a reflection on the changing political and social landscape of the Far East at the turn of the century. Grew's observations on the rise of Japan as a global power and the tensions between China and Western nations provide a unique perspective on the region's history.Overall, Sport And Travel In The Far East is a fascinating and informative book that offers a glimpse into a bygone era of travel and exploration.
