    [synopsis] => Get the Summary of Jonathan Kaufman's The Last Kings of Shanghai in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: The book lays bare the moral compromises of the Kadoories and the Sassoons-and their exceptional foresight, success, and generosity. At the height of World War II, they joined together to rescue and protect eighteen thousand Jewish refugees fleeing Nazism. Though their stay in China started out as a business opportunity, the country became a home they were reluctant to leave, even on the eve of revolution. The lavish buildings they built and the booming businesses they nurtured continue to define Shanghai and Hong Kong to this day. As the United States confronts China's rise, and China grapples with the pressures of breakneck modernization and global power, the long-hidden odysseys of the Sassoons and the Kadoories hold a key to understanding the present moment.
