About this title: This scholarly history of modern Tibet chronicles the pain and suffering that followed the Chinese invasion in 1950, and the efforts of the Chinese government to assert (or reassert) its control over the region. Shakya fled Tibet in 1967. He chastises the West for failing to take a strong stance on human rights, and criticizes failed initiatives by the followers of the Dalai Lama.
