In the Middle of the Future

A compelling and sprawling portrait of Asia’s resurgence – by Tom Plate, America’s only Asia-only columnist


About the Book

For almost two decades, the columns of journalist Tom Plate have been featured in leading newspapers of the world and have focused entirely on one gigantic subject — the dynamic rise of Asia. Now, for the first time, the best of these columns has been organized into a substantial anthology, annotated with personal comments by Professor Plate, who is also the author of the best-selling ‘Giants of Asia’ book series. Unpublished material also enlivens the collection with vivid backstories. The net effect is a compelling and sprawling portrait of the last two decades of Asia resurgence by America’s only Asia-only columnist.
