This is a gripping story of love, war, exile, intrigue, glamour and betrayal, which takes us from Hawaii to New York, from Japan and Berlin to secret meeting rooms in Moscow, and from the power centre in Beijing to the democratic corridor in Taiwan. In a group biography that is by turns intimate and epic, Jung Chang reveals the lives of three extraordinary women who helped shape the history of twentieth-century China. From the bestselling author of "Wild Swans".
