This is the unknown story of the most remote and romantic nation in its struggle against the modern might of China. Written by Lowell Thomas, Jr., the account spells out both the history and the events which are part of the struggle in Tibet. 

Mr. Thomas describes the brutal Chinese Communist invasion of Tibet beginning in 1950, the conflicting influence of the Dalai Lama--spiritual leader of millions of Tibetans--and the Panchen Lama--a Communist puppet, the street-broadcast propaganda, the attack on the lamaseries, and the failure of the Communists to win the support of Tibetans despite such projects as the building of schools, hospitals, and roads.

The Silent War in Tibet shows what threat the Chinese occupation forces in Tibet pose to the Nepal and Indian borders, the effects of the flight to India of the Dalai Lama on the Tibetan people, and the lessons to the rest of the world found in the conquest of Tibet by the Communists.

Tibet's story is one of intrigue, corruption, and nobility of spirit. With the future of this exotic kingdom, a wild land where each man believes in his own reincarnation, at a crucial point in history, this book fills a great need for accurate information.
