By utilizing previously ignored archival material from three continents and drawing conclusions focused on the available documentation, The Making of Modern Tibet is the first successful attempt to reach beyond the polemics so often generated in Tibet studies to present a clear and accessible history of this fascinating country. This new edition is enriched by striking photographs and a comprehensive updating of the issues that have emerged since the publication of the first edition.
A well balanced overview of the history of Tibet with an appreciated focus on the history of American-British- Indian activities in the region as it relates to their attempts to counter China.
