Book Summary
No other land has captured man's imagination quite like Tibet. Hidden away
behind the highest mountains on earth, and ruled over by a mysterious God-king,
it was for centuries a land forbidden to all outsiders. In this remarkable and
ultimately tragic narrative, Peter Hopkirk recounts the forcible opening up of
this medieval Buddhist kingdom by inquisitive Western travellers during the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the race to reach Lhasa, Tibet's sacred
capital. This epic, often harrowing tale, which ends with the Chinese invasion
of 1950, draws on a colourful cast of gatecrashers from nine different
countries. Among them were adventurous young officers on Great Game missions,
explorers
