Descripción de contraportada

"This volume, like the previous two, is the most comprehensive account of Tibet's modern history and its interaction with China that no other existing books can match. The scholarship is superior. The amount of primary sources employed and the author's capability in synthesizing massive materials into a coherent, easy to digest narrative is unparalleled."--Ho-fung Hung, Associate Professor of Sociology at The Johns Hopkins University and author of Protest with Chinese Characteristics

"This volume continues Goldstein's foundational contribution to understanding the history of modern Tibet. On a topic contested by contradictory memories, interests, and politics, Goldstein provides a unique breadth of documents and interviews as well as his own narrative. With this book in hand, all serious future research will have to begin with a much broader and more complex reality than hitherto has been possible."--Brantly Womack, Miller Center C K Yen Chair and Professor of Foreign Affairs, U. of Virginia

Praise for previous volumes:

"Impressively meticulous. [A] wealth of well-ordered detail and primary source material, both Tibetan and Chinese."--Times Literary Supplement (TLS)

"An excellent and gripping read not only for historians."--Vineeth Mathoor, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi South Asia Research

"A prodigious piece of scholarship drawing on an extensive range of primary sources and interviews . . . . As an in-depth study of Sino-Tibetan relations in this period it is currently unmatched."--Alex McKay New Zealand Journal Of Asian Studies
