China, 1927, is the world of The Warlord, a saga as awesome in scale as the land with which it deals, as rich, as varied, as deep, and as brilliant.

Since the expulsion of the Manchu, there has been no real central power in China. General Chang understands the challenges and dangers of change better perhaps than any of the other warlords. He is a man of strict honor and uncompromising principles, as much a scholar as he is a soldier. Tang begins to fear that he can save his country only by countering evil with evil, and at this crucial point a group of foreigners enter his life.......
