`A remarkable portrait of intelligence, espionage and covert action. This highly readable account illuminates an important new aspect of both Chinese history and international history. -Professor Richard J Aldrich, University of Warwick, `The author draws on a wide range of sources to paint a fascinating picture of the shadowy activities and colorful characters that competing Chinese factions, Western powers, and Japan undertook in their attempts to control China over the first half of the twentieth century. - Professor Harold Tanner, University of North Texas, `In his new book, Panagiotis Dimitrakis provides us with a remarkable piece of research into the shadowy world of espionage and intelligence in China for almost the whole of the twentieth century. He has brought to light a kind of parallel history, one that fills in many of the blanks of the more conventional accounts of China, beginning with the Revolution of 1911 and continuing to the rise of Mao and his seizure of power. - Richard Bernstein, The first Beijing bureau chief for Time and author of China 1945: Maos Revolution and Americas Fateful Choice
