Summary
An authority on Asia offers a dramatic account of a wealthy and powerful Chinese clan. Charlie Soong, the patriarch, was instrumental in the 1912 overthrow of the Chinese monarchy. One daughter married Sun Yat-sen, another married Chiang Kai-shek, and a… son was thought to be the world's richest man. While other writers have exalted the Soongs and their doings, Seagrave documents many of their darker deeds. Bestseller 1985
