In 1984 he visited Japan for the first time. He was fascinated by the culture and decided to stay. He married and had two sons. He lived inside the Buddhist culture and studied its philosophy of reincarnation and karma. His work finds a way to provide the reader with many opinions about religion and philosophy. It compares the traditional Christian teachings to a Buddhist culture that has an objective viewpoint.
Over the years, Lewis visited South Korea, Taiwan, Guam, the Japanese Ryuku Islands (Okinawa) and Saipan. He also lived for a time in the Island of Mindanao in the Philippines.
Lewis holds the highest regard for the people of countries he visited. It is little wonder that he would study Oriental history and their conflicts. Ever the military historian, Lewis discovered many historical facts that led to the decision to write this book. His fondest wish is that this work can connect the East and West and provide an insight that will help the people of both worlds unite with a unique understanding.view less
