Hostage of Beijing : the abduction of the Panchen Lama
Gilles van Grasdorff (Author)
"In May 1995, six-year-old Gendun Chokkyi Nyima was officially recognized by the present Dalai Lama as the eleventh incarnation of the Panchen Lama, Tibet's second most important spiritual leader. A few days later, he and his family were removed from their village by the Chinese authorities, and disappeared from public view. Shortly after this kidnapping Beijing produced its own Panchen Lama, another boy from the same village, both these children are in effect 'Hostages of Beijing.'"--Jacket
