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.
