Tibet also exercises immense 'soft power' as one of the lenses through which the world views China. This book traces the origins and manifestations of the Tibetan myth, as propagated by Younghusband, Madam Blavatsky, Himmler, Acheson and Roosevelt. The authors discuss how, after WW2, Tibet-- isolated, misunderstood and with a tiny elite unschooled in political-military realities--misread the diplomacy between its two giant neighbours, India and China, forlornly hoping London or Washington might intervene. China's People's Liberation Army sought nothing less than to deconstruct traditional Tibet, unseat the Dalai Lama and 'absorb' this vast region into the People's Republic, and Lhasa succumbed to China's invasion in 1950. Drawing on declassified CIA and Chinese documents, the authors reveal Mao's collusion with Stalin to subdue Tibet, double-dealing by Nehru, the brilliant diplomacy of Chou en Lai and how Washington see-sawed between the China lobby, who insisted there be no backing for an independent Tibet, and Presidents Truman and later Eisenhower, who initiated a covert CIA programme to support the Dalai Lama and resist Chinese occupation. It is an ignoble saga with few, if any, heroes, other than ordinary Tibetans"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aMyth$xPolitical aspects$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWorld politics$y1945-1989 607 $aTibet Autonomous Region (China)$xHistory$y1951- 607 $aTibet Autonomous Region (China)$xForeign relations$y20th century 607 $aTibet Autonomous Region (China)$xStrategic aspects 607 $aTibet Autonomous Region (China)$xForeign public opinion, Western 607 $aIndia$xForeign relations$zChina 607 $aChina$xForeign relations$zIndia 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1945-1953 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1953-1961 615 0$aMyth$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aWorld politics 676 $a951/.505 686 $aPOL031000$aHIS050000$2bisacsh 700 $aHalper$b Lezlee Brown$01563955 702 $aHalper$b Stefan A. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791300003321 996 $aTibet$93832730 997 $aUNINA
