About the Book: Journey to Lhasa: The Diary of a Spy
In 1874, the brilliant civil engineer Sarat Chandra Das was recruited by the
British as a spy in Darjeeling. The Empire wanted to train local agents to
gather in-depth intelligence about Tibet—a mysterious kingdom closed off to all
outsiders for years—in order to consolidate their position in South Asia and
outplay Russia in the Great Game. Equipped with hidden compasses, hundred-bead
rosaries (to discreetly measure distances), and an excellent knowledge of
Buddhism and the local language, Das set out into the harsh early winter of
1881, through the snow-filled passes of Sikkim and Nepal
