Zaibatsu by John Brown

ZAIBATSU . . . the forerunners of the great Japanese multinationals - the Mitsubishis, the Sumitomos, the Mitsuis . . .

This is the story of the greatest of them all and the man at the top, Jiro Takano, of his fight for control of the second largest island in the world, New Guinea, in the South Pacific, and of the men who fought him: John Fallon, Vietnam veteran, mercenary and arms dealer, looking for revenge for his murdered brother: Starkey, a white Security Intelligence officer in the pay of a black government; Draker and Hillier of the CIA; General Sudomo of the Indonesian army and his mobile anti-revolutionary brigade; and the assassin retained by one of the governments to resolve its more difficult problems.

There are revolutionaries, the guerrillas, the mercenaries, and there is the beautiful Tamara, half Japanese, half Russian . . .
