Author:Dawa Norbu
Tibet: The Road Ahead is the extraordinary account of the potential extinction of a civilisation. Written by a gifted Tibetan of humble origins, this book tells the story of ordinary Tibetans in the twentieth century.
Professor Norbu refutes China's claim that Tibet has been part of China since the seventh century AD, showing how the relationship between the two countries was symbolic and ceremonial, rather than one of political suppression. He portrays pre-1950 Tibet as a place of complete and genuine freedom, in stark contrast with recent events in the region.
Beautifully written and offering a fresh, incisive look at the road ahead for Tibet in post-Deng China, this book will appeal to all those fascinated by, and concerned for 'the land of the snows'.
A fascinating book, deeply researched and admirably written by an author who is a master of his subject and also of the light touch
—— Evening StandardA splendidly entertaining history... This book is both immensely readable and an invaluable guide to a set of institutions whose role in British political and economic history is imperfectly understood
—— Sunday TelegraphDavid Kynaston's achievement... is to make the whole thing read like a novel... An altogether exceptional book
—— D. J. Taylor , GuardianThe City has never been good at justifying or explaining itself to the wider world, but in David Kynaston it has found a wonderfully gifted and diligent interpreter
—— Daily TelegraphA magnificent book
—— Sunday TimesCompulsively readable.
