《国民党金融之父宋子文》以行云流水般的文笔，几近一气呵成地述说了历任国民政府中央银行总裁、财政部长、外交部长、行政院长等职的宋子文在26年从政理财生涯中的“四起四落”；又浓墨铺写了宋子文发迹于广州、雄起于武汉、运筹于南京、斡旋于西安、韬晦于香港、暴敛于上海以及折冲樽俎于美英之间的桩桩史事；同时揭示了国民党高层人物明争暗斗、尔虞我诈、横征暴敛的事实以及四大家族间错综复杂的恩怨纠葛。
In a free-flowing style, this book narrates the "four rises and four falls" of T. V. Soong during his 26 years in politics and finance, serving successively as the president of the Central Bank of the National Government, finance minister, foreign minister, and president of the Executive Yuan. It also highlights the historical events of T. V. Soong's starting from scratch in Guangzhou, rising in Wuhan, devising strategies in Nanjing, mediating in Xi'an, lying low in Hong Kong, collecting illegitimate wealth in Shanghai and engaging in diplomatic negotiations with the US and the UK. At the same time, it reveals the open strife and veiled struggle, mutual deception and ruthless taxation of the senior figures of KMT, as well as the intricate grievances and entanglements between the four big families.
