Lords of the Rim furnishes a fascinating portal into both the past and the future of the world's Pacific economy. This book is a lively version of Chinese history from 1100 B.C. to the present, through the screen of the dealings of its merchant class. It analyzes the enormous power wielded by a widely scattered group of 55 million Chinese merchants who live in exile throughout Asia and, increasingly, in the U.S. and Canada.
Sterling Seagrave was an American historian. He was the author of numerous books which address unofficial and clandestine aspects of the 20th-century political history of countries in the Far East.
