Up for auction is this controversial hardcover book..
The Dragon in the Land of Snows.

This scholarly history of modern Tibet chronicles the pain and suffering that followed the Chinese invasion in 1950, and the efforts of the Chinese government to assert (or reassert) its control over the region. Shakya fled Tibet in 1967. He chastises the West for failing to take a strong stance on human rights, and criticizes failed initiatives by the followers of the Dalai Lama.

"DRAGON IN THE LAND OF SHADOWS will undoubtedly take its place as the indispensable account of modern Tibetan history...Shakya informs it with a cool and rigorous historical mind, with which he cuts through the thickets of polemic on both sides."

"The author presents new information of scalding sensitivity which will anger not only Beijing and many of the Dalai Lama's networks in the West, but diplomatic circles in London and Washington."

This book is in excellent unread condition and would make a nice addition to anyone's library who is interested in this subject.
