Dragon in the Land of Snows

Based entirely on unpublished primary sources, this remarkable book -the first authoritative history of modern Tibet – is also the first to provide detailed accounts of: * The covert political manoeuverings in Tibet and the role of the Tibetan, Chinese and British governments; * The Dalai Lama`s escape in 1959; * The CIA`s involvement and the establishment of a secret military base in the Nepalese Himalayas; * The British government lying to the UN and Douglas Hurd`s role in that process; * The power struggles during th Cultural Revolution and the mass uprising against the Chinese that has remained secret until now.
