FROM THE LAND
OF LOST CONTENT
The Qalai Lama's Fight for Tibet
by Noel Barber
(London, Collins, 1969;
224 pages)
For ten agonizing years
Tibetans endured Chinese
tyranny, The Dalai Lama, in a
determined effort to save his
country from further violence
and destruction, would not"
allow military action against the
invaders. Criminal brutalities
steadily grew worse. This is the
story of the oppressed's
desperate and courageous
struggle for freedom.
Noel' Barber interviewed
survivors all over the world,
including the Dalai Lim,
himself, to reconstruct this
detailed and dramatic account of
the fall of Tibet, Through the
statements of eye-witnesses
Barber aptly portrays the events
leading up to and during the
revolution.
Chime Youngdong, son of a
local Tibetan king, led an exodus
of over 20,000 out of the east,
after the mysterious
disappearance of his father.
They travelled to Lhasa seeking
aid from the Dalai Lama. During
this journey many from
the caravan were shot by Chinese
aircraft. The Dalai Lama still
refused to act against the
Chinese. The religious leader was
convinced that they could defeat
the enemy with peaceful
measures. His secluded life had
'so separated him from his
cpeaye,,
Slikiects1 that, he was not fully
aware of the intense cruelties
they suffered.
When the Chinese attempted
to kidnap the Dalai Lama, the
people's endurance snapped, and
the violent revolution began,
They fought bravely, but
hopelessly against the powerful,
modern war weapons of the
aggressors. Pleas for assistance to
India, Britain, the United States,
and the United Nations, were
practically ignored. The Dalai
Lama was finally persuaded to
leave the country, only because
he thought the fighting would
then cease. The battle
continued, and the women
fought along side of the men.
Soon other government officials
were forced to flee.
Barber injects some of the
Tibetan way of life, He explains
the brilliant colors that held
special meaning in their religious
ceremonies, most vividly
described, They lived simply,
asking only to be left alone.
Many of the art treasures, held
for centuries in the monasteries,
were destroyed along with the
country's legal documents. In
the back of the book, the
historical appendix lists all the
principal events in Tibetan
history from circa 625 through
1950. The Epilogue reveals
where the leaders of the fallen
country are today, and what is
being done to preserve what is
left of the Tibetan culture. This
book is available at your public
library.
