China Gate by William Arnold Book

Cast out of China by the Communist Revolution of 1949 and arriving on the shores of Taiwan with his penniless ex-taipan father, five-year-old Bryan Whyte grows up on the mean streets of Taipei and rides his family’s Asian gangland connections, the Vietnam War and the Taiwan economic boom of the ’70s to become the most powerful American in Asia.
This classic blockbuster has been hailed as “a triumph of storytelling,” “a spectacular epic in the tradition of NOBLE HOUSE and WINDS OF WAR” and “a sweeping saga of the ’60s generation, told from a unique perspective.” Long banned in both Taiwan and Mainland China.
