Tsipon Shuguba, the last surviving high official in the 14th Dalai Lama's government, here reveals information about the Chinese invasion and occupation that was concealed from the outside world for decades. Simply and without bitterness, Shuguba speaks about what he witnessed -- the Chinese invasion; the bombings, executions, and massacres; the deaths of his wife and daughter; and his own "trial" and 19-year imprisonment. Released in 1980, Shuguba spent his last years in the United States. He died in 1991 at the age of 87. Based on Shuguba's autobiography and many hours of interviews, this book includes rare photos of Tibetan cultural treasures that have since been destroyed.Carnahan, Sumner is the author of 'In the Presence of My Enemies: Memoirs of Tibetan Nobleman Tsepon Shuguba', published 1995 under ISBN 9780940666627 and ISBN 0940666626.
