Two Tigers, One Mountain

by Bruce Venables
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
From the Korean War to the Cultural Revolution, Two Tigers, One Mountain is an epic story of a family dynasty on a violent course to destruction.

In Korea, two brothers fight on opposing sides in a war where black market profiteering is rife, and patriotism and honour have lost their meanings. When they depart the battlefield, one is a hero, the other a traitor.
One brother, General Lee Kwan Man-hop, returns to Beijing and an uncertain future in the communist Peoples Republic of China. The other, Wing Commander James Merchant RAF, goes home to Hong Kong to restore a family business. Through China's turbulent years of the 1950s and '60s, Lee Kwan fights to protect his family from brutal oppression, while in Hong Kong, James Merchant's family empire is in danger of disintegrating.
From Hong Kong to London; from the foreign embassies of war torn Seoul to the far-east elegance of Singapore; from the narrow lanes of Bejing slums, to the famous banking houses of Geneva, Two Tigers, One Mountain, like an opiate dream, is a fabulous tale of the Orient.
