"Be so subtle that you are invisible. Be so mysterious that you are intangible. Then you will control your rival's fate." So wrote Sun Tzu in The Art of War, and no group has taken his advice more to heart than the Overseas Chinese, a vast, highly interconnected net of 55 million expatriate Chinese who control up to $2 trillion in assets, and not only dominate the Pacific Rim but are making increasing inroads into the West as well. Part economic analysis, part Pacific Rim history, part flamboyant chronicle of fortunes won, lost, and won again, Lords of the Rim is a rich, engrossing, superbly researched, and spectacularly told account of who the Overseas Chinese are and how rthey became so powerful. Spanning thousands of years, it encompasses stories of murder and betrayal, bravery and corruption; of triads, syndicates, kingmakers, merchants, emperors, generals, spies, and pirates. Consistently praised for his scholarship and his ability to weave multiple strands into a fast~paced narrative, Sterling Seagrave provides us with not only a masterly history, but also a cautionary tale~for the strategies that have proven so successful for the Chinese in the past are just as effective today. Lords of the Rim furnishes a fascinating portal into both the past and the future of the world's Pacific economy.…
