Himalayan Tragedy
The Story of Tibet's Panchen Lamas

Himalayan Tragedy: The Story of Tibet's Panchen Lamas, by David White of the Tibet Relief Fund, is an account of Tibet's history from medieval times to the present day. It focuses on the Chinese authorities' abduction of the boy selected by the Dalai Lama as the 11th Panchen Lama-the world's youngest political prisoner.

The book is a very readable and valuable addition to recent scholarship and comment on Tibet, and an excellent introduction to the complex relationship between Tibet and China. 150 pages.
