Description
Summary:From the U.S. Army's The Big Picture television series, 1950-1975.
"The western Pacific and Asia are vitally important parts of the world to the United States. Not only does this area contain a large percentage of all mankind and tremendous resources, but it is also a place where the Communists are making vigorous and ruthless aggression. Based upon the belief that most Americans do not know too much about the SEATO countries, cameras were sent into Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Thailand and the Philippines. As pointed-up in the film, present Communist strategy in Southeast Asia is to undermine non-Communist governments by threat and subversion. In the three and a half years since SEATO's formation, the eight member nations have made long strides forward along the road to mutual security."--National Archives and Records Administration.
