In 1872, China ravaged by poverty, population growth, and
aggressive European armies sent 120 boys to America to learn the
secrets of Western innovation. They studied at New England s finest
schools and were driven by a desire for progress and reform. When
anti-Chinese fervor forced them back home, the young men had to
overcome a suspicious imperial court and a country deeply resistant
to change in technology and culture. Fortunate Sons tells a
remarkable story, weaving together the dramas of personal lives
with the fascinating tale of a nation s endeavor to become a world
power. "
