Opis

British intervention in Tibet was one of the last chapters in the 'Great Game' between Britain & Russia, but it also took place at a time when Japan & the U.S. were emerging as world powers. Wendy Palace reassesses Britain's policy in Asia & also considers the impact of the intervention on Tibet itself.

Recenzje

'The great value of Dr. Palace's study is to highlight the much neglected China angle to the Tibetan issue ... [this book is] helping to indicate the very important place of the Tibetan affair in the story of Western imperialism' - Asian Affairs
