- History, POLITICAL CONDITIONS, CHINA, XIZANG (China)
"This definitive history of modern Tibet - based entirely on unpublished primary sources and written by a Western-educated Tibetan author - shatters the popular perception of Tibet as an isolated Shangri-la unaffected by broader international developments and rises above the simplistic dualism so often encountered in accounts of Tibet's contested recent history."--BOOK JACKET.
