'In a Nutshell', the new audiobook series from Naxos AudioBooks, continues with a fascinating history of Tibet.
Part of China for many years, yet with a clearly distinctive culture (with the central devotion of its people being to Buddhism and the Dalai Lama), Tibet has a unique character in the panoply of world nations. Here we have an independent view of its history and the customs and beliefs of its people - and a commentary on the current situation.
