[Philip · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hard to find book -- I got my copy in Kathmandu -- but one of the few first-hand accounts of the Khampa resistance struggle throughout the 1950's, and therefore an important and early addition to the increasing volume of literature on this previously-little understood war.

Read the book as I found a copy. Gives an authentic and first hand account of the Tibet resistance.
