The Dragon in the Land of Snows: A History of Modern Tibet Since 1947
Shakya, Tsering (The University of British Columbia)
This definitive history of modern Tibet -- based entirely on unpublished primary sources and written by a Western-educated Tibetan author -- shatters the popular perception of Tibet as an isolated Shangri-la unaffected by broader international developments and rises above the simplistic dualism so often encountered in accounts of Tibet's contested recent history.
