There are books here that I love love love such as Robbie Barnett's Lhasa Streets with Memories and Wang Lixiong and Tsering Shakya's The Struggle for Tibet. <br /><br />And I hear excellent things about Canyon Sam's Sky Train and Jonathan Green's Nangpa la book. <br /><br />Anyway you have reminded me that I have to read Tashi Dawa (never read him before!) and many many others. Thanks for the books post.Jhutokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14297671968573914741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79823148116256258.post-50193630087634040002010-07-21T15:41:39.458+01:002010-07-21T15:41:39.458+01:00Thank you very much for this recommendation.

We are certainly considering expanding this list to include a section on books about China, if we do that we will include "The Party" for sure.High Peaks Pure Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15723535729826799227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79823148116256258.post-46195510329600899002010-07-21T15:32:37.733+01:002010-07-21T15:32:37.733+01:00A book worth considering is "The Party: The S...A book worth considering is "The Party: The Secret World of China's Communist Rulers," by Richard McGregor. Published in June, 2010, it provides really valuable insights into the inner workings of the CCP and its psychology. <br /><br />While not directly about Tibet, I've found the book extremely valuable because of the facts on how the Communist Party operates, how large and extensive it is, and how deeply in runs into day-to-day life in China. Provides some good clues to the CCP mindset which, as we know, has brought untold suffering and discontent to Tibet. Know your enemy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
