effective capital investment, and population increases. In treating these subjects one wishes the author had made more use of the valuable United Nations ECOSOC studies to which he refers in Chapter IX. But his treatment is adequate for the non-specialist.

One wishes also that he had given more information on the disintegration of social life, with all its economic implications, which has been going on since the early days of colonial rule. He mentions in several places that village life is in transition or flux. But is its re-orientation being carried out successfully?

This reviewer commends Professor Mills for producing this valuable and needed work. While it is a commendable contribution it will not, nor is it intended to, replace for the serious scholar the major works on Southeast Asian governments edited by Professor George Kahin, nor such country studies as Hugh Tinker's on Burma, Bernard Fall's on Vietnam and Mills' own work on Malaya.
