Prisoners of Shangri-La : Tibetan Buddhism and the West

"Prisoners of Shangri-La" is a provocative analysis of the romance of Tibet, a romance that, even as it is invoked by Tibetan lamas living in exile, ultimately imprisons those who seek the goal of Tibetan independence from Chinese occupation. -- From publisher's description
