About this title: The Triads are the Chinese secret societies that originated in the mythic Shaolin monastery, overthrew the Qing dynasty, evolved into organized-crime syndicates, and today dominate the international heroin trade. Their influence has spread worldwide through the Chinese diaspora, and they have never been more powerful. This work is the definitive study of the history, symbols, and secret rituals of the Triads.
