description: From the acclaimed and bestselling author of THE SOONG DYNASTY comes an examination of the complex web of Chinese operations that dominate the Far East's booming economies. "Be so subtle that you are invisible ... Be so mysterious that you are intangible. Then you will control your rivals' fate." So wrote Sun Tzu in THE ART OF WAR. No group has taken his advice more to heart than the Overseas Chinese -- a vast, network of 55 million expatriate Chinese who control up to $2 trillion in assets. They dominate not only the Pacific Rim but are making inroads into the West. Sterling Seagrave provides a masterful history of the Chinese ascent through thousands of years to assume such great power today. Lords of the Rim is a fascinating portal into the future of the world's Pacific economy.
