5.0 out of 5 stars Cry for their suffering, cheer for their resilience & faith., 3 Feb 1999
By A Customer
If only I had read this book before visiting Tibet in 1986 - how it would have increased my understanding of the people and their plight. I am shocked and angry at this further example of the extraordinary depths of mental and physical cruelty one people will descend to in order to suppress another. The interviews with the Dalai Lama at the end are not bedtime reading! They require concentration and contemplation. What a mind he has. A compulsory read for anyone contemplating visiting Tibet. You will want to pledge your support having read and seen for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartwrenchingly good, 28 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This book, is among the very best accounts of the terrible tragedy that has been Tibet for nearly 50 years. Fascinating reading for anyone interested in Tibet. I have read this book twice and look forward to reading it again. Cynics may try to put a pleasant face China's occupation of Tibet, but this book tells it straight. Read it, you won't be sorry.
