Klappentext "This brave manuscript is the first in any language to look at the Cultural Revolution in Tibet. The material is refreshingly new! coming from the authors' extensive interviews and oral histories collected in recent years. This is extremely valuable! as Tibet is not always accessible to western writers. It is indeed remarkable that the authors have been able to solicit views from both sides of the factional struggle! so that we have now a clear contour of the tragic 1969 Nyemo Incident. This contribution cannot be overstated."-Uradyn E. Bulag! author of The Mongolia-Tibet Interface: Opening New Research Terrains in Inner Asia "This is an important! accessible! and riveting description of a controversial and significant episode in modern Tibet history that scholars have not previously been able to access."-Robbie Barnett!
