In a book that continues the story of Tibet's history that he began in his acclaimed A History of Modern Tibet, 1913-1951: The Demise of the Lamaist State, Melvyn C. Goldstein critically revises our understanding of that key period in midcentury. This authoritative account utilizes new archival material, including never before seen documents, and extensive interviews with Tibetans, including the Dalai Lama, and with Chinese officials. Goldstein furnishes fascinating and sometimes surprising portraits of these major players as he deftly unravels the fateful intertwining of Tibetan and Chinese politics against the backdrop of the Korean War, the tenuous Sino-Soviet alliance, and American cold war policy.HISTORY / Asia / GeneralbisacshTibet Autonomous Region (China)HistoryElectronic books.HISTORY / Asia / General.951.5055Goldstein Melvyn C265243Goldstein Melvyn C265243MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451720703321A history of modern Tibet2440991UNINA
