The third volume in Melvyn Goldstein's History of Modern Tibet series, The Calm before the Storm, examines the critical years of 1955 through 1957. During this period, the Preparatory Committee for a Tibet Autonomous Region was inaugurated in Lhasa, and a major Tibetan uprising occurred in Sichuan Province. Jenkhentsisum, a Tibetan anti-communist émigré group, emerged as an important player with secret links to Indian Intelligence, the Dalai Lama's Lord Chamberlain, the United States, and Taiwan. And in Tibet, Fan Ming, the acting head of the CCP's office in Lhasa, launched the "Great Expansion," which recruited many thousands of Han Cadres to Lhasa in preparation for beginning democratic reforms, only to be stopped decisively by Mao Zedong's "Great Contraction" which sent them back to China and ended talk of reforms in Tibet for the foreseeable future. In Volume III, Goldstein draws on never-before seen Chinese government documents, published and unpublished memoirs and diaries, and invaluable in-depth interviews with important Chinese and Tibetan participants (including the Dalai Lama) to offer a new level of insight into the events and principal players of the time. Goldstein corrects factual errors and misleading stereotypes in the history, and uncovers heretofore unknown information on the period to reveal in depth a nuanced portrait of Sino-Tibetan relations that goes far beyond anything previously imagined. 606 $aHISTORY / Asia / General 606 $aRELIGION / Buddhism / General (see also PHILOSOPHY / Buddhist) 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural 606 $aHISTORY / Asia / General$2bisacsh 607 $aTibet Autonomous Region (China)$xHistory$y1951- 607 $aTibet Autonomous Region (China)$xPolitics and government$y1951- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHISTORY / Asia / General. 615 0$aRELIGION / Buddhism / General (see also PHILOSOPHY / Buddhist). 615 0$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural. 615 7$aHISTORY / Asia / General. 676 $a951.5055 700 $aGoldstein$b Melvyn C$0265243 701 $aGoldstein$b Melvyn C$0265243 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453257203321 996 $aA history of modern Tibet$92440991 997 $aUNINA
