"This book is a gold mine of extremely valuable information about Tibet not easily accessible otherwise. The contributors show perspective and balance in answering '100 Questions' about Tibet, and they provide a well-thought-out account that will be of great use to all concerned with the Tibetan question."--George Dreyfus, Williams College
Offers responses to a booklet published by the Chinese government in 1989, which sought to counter the criticism generated by the Dalai Lama and his followers and offer the PRC's 'truth' about Tibet and Tibetans. This book deals evenhandedly with both China's 'truth' about Tibet and that of the Dalai Lama and his followers.
