Product Description

First printing.
The first volume of a planned two volume autobiography, completed by Matsuura's wife, Ruth, after his death.
This focuses on his early life growing up in a sugar plantation camp in Waialua in the years before and during World War II, his college career and his work in India, after he obtained his doctorate in agriculture - first as part of a mission (although as a rebel he was often in conflict with the Missionary Board) and later with USAID.
INSCRIBED by Ruth Matsuura on a blank preliminary page and SIGNED on the title page.
Illustrated with a frontispiece and a 46 page Part V: Photo Journal.
A heavy book, printed on heavy glossy stock throughout.
Uncommon.
380 pp.
Very good in very near fine dust jacket (the title page and the following leaf with a printed letter to his children and portrait of Matsuura has become detached but is laid in; stamp on front endpaper stating this is a gift from the Matsuura family)
