Nice book, I liked it.
It's basically an old study of the Tibet, complete and with an excellent bibliography. I have to say it is not that easy to read and understand the mentioned events and time periods for someone that has never learned, studied or heard about Tibet's history (like basically me XD), but I think that for an academical use is a good book. Very informative.
