From the dust jacket comes this excerpt:

"This unusual book is an interpretation of the Iroquois Indian's many-sided genius -- their talent for government, their ways in war, their conduct in family living, their religious beliefs. Throughout the book the real Hiawatha -- not Longfellow's fictional brave -- is a symbol of this genius, for it was he who persuaded the Iroquoian tribes to settle their suicidal differences and unite in the Great Peace of the 15th Century. And it was this confederation that decided the fate of a continent.

"The confederation was one of the few pure republics the world has ever known, and there is some evidence that it influenced the founding fathers while they were modeling the young American Republic. The Iroquois influence has persisted for centuries and has been highly commended by men of stature -- Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin among them. George Washington was the only white man ever admitted to the paradise of the Five Nations.

Probably nowhere else in the world has the status of women been as high as among the Iroquois. 

What a fruitful civilization the Iroquois might have established had America been "discovered" just a few centuries later. Both conjecture and fact come alive in the pages of this distinctive history.

Dr. J.B. Rhine, psychologist at Duke University, was the world's outstanding authority and scientific pioneer in the fields of ESP and psychokinesis. "The Reach of The Mind" is Dr. Rhine's story of his findings, and the techniques he has developed, over many years, to scientifically measure non-physical factors of man's mind: telepathy, clairvoyance, and the force which the mind can physically produce upon inanimate objects. When the "The Reach of the Mind" was first released, it greatly impressed Carl Jung, who used it as a basis for his theories on synchronicity. In this special edition, Dr. Rhine included a new preface surveying even more progress in his field.

The time is 1944. The setting is East Asia in flames. The characters are: Philip Baldwin, a New England major with his first command -- a tough and surly American demolition unit isolated in the great retreat of that turbulent year; Su-piao, a strong and beautiful Chinese woman educated in America; and Kwan, a frosty Chinese colonel who loves his country but must help ravish it. The story of their adventures in one violent week marks Theodore H. White's emergence as a major novelist.
