Description
This History traces the history of the land, dating from the glory days of the Tibetan Empire in the seventh century, through the spread of Buddhism across Asia and the rise of the Dalai Lamas, to its 'patron-priest' relationship under Kubali Khan's Mongol rule in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and trade with European pashas. Tibet as a region of China or Tibet as an empire which was once equal to that of the Chinese is a question that has been beaten to death. Offering answers that comply both the sides, the book keeps away from taking stand point. Finely wrought and without prejudice, this is a sensitive, warm and superbly informative book. - from Amzon
