Anyone familiar with brands such as Taikoo and Cathay Pacific may also find this book an interesting read, because of insights and revelations about the rise and development of these and other Swire brands and companies, their business connections and growth, all of which contribute to a better understanding of their position in the international market. This book is recommended reading for anyone interested in the corporate history of John Swire & Sons and those looking for deeper insights into the historical relations and complex dynamics between Britain and Asia. It will throw light on the challenges confronting the current relationship between the power holders.
