It chronicles the fascinating story of the Jesuits in China during the late Ming Dynasty, a time of great political and social upheaval. The book explores the role of the Jesuits in this tumultuous period, from their arrival in China in the late 16th century to their expulsion in the mid-17th century.

He also delves into the complex political and cultural landscape of China at the time, shedding light on the challenges and obstacles faced by the Jesuits. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the Jesuits' experience in China.
