In Tibet, Tibet, author Patrick French explores the fascinations that Tibet has long inspired in theWest, revealing what really lies beyond our romantic image of a mystical mountain kingdom of peace and spirituality. Travelling through the country, French meets exiled monks, nomads and a nun secretly fighting Chinese rule, but also young Tibetans with a more pragmatic attitude to their situation. Interweaving these encounters with little-known stories of war and turmoil from Tibet’s past, he reveals a more nuanced, fascinating and surprising picture of the complexities of Tibet than more traditional accounts usually inspire.
