THE LAST KINGS OF SHANGHAI: The Rival Jewish Dynasties That Helped Create Modern China by Jonathan Kaufman. For over 175 years, the Sassoons and the Kadoories, two Jewish families, profited from the Opium Wars, surviving Japanese occupation, courting Chiang Kai-shek, and nearly losing their vast fortune as the Communists swept into power. A remarkable nonfiction account of how these families ignited an economic boom and opened China to the world.
