The hapless Captain Fisby, with the help of his local interpreter, Sakini, is implementing the U.S. Army's Plan B, which includes establishing a Women's League for Democratic Action and building a pentagon-shaped schoolhouse where the children will learn English. When Fisby mistakenly accepts a gift of souvenirs in the form of two geishas, life in the village and his plans for it spin out of control. The vainglorious area commander, Colonel Wainwright Purdy III, sends a spy to Tobiki to discover what is going on. This immensely likeable satire of the American civilizing mission was a phenomenon when it was, published in 1951. An award-winning play and hit movie of the same name soon followed. The many-layered novel retains its charm and power today; beneath the comical mayhem that engulfs Tobiki we see the pitfalls and possibilities of cultural exchange.
