Some books lure us into new lives and unexpected worlds. Here, the person is the author himself, Naktsang Nulo. . . . There is no other such an apolitical book, known to me, by a Tibetan living and working in Tibet. . . .Neither the Chinese nor the Tibetan diaspora will be able to claim that Naktsang's memoir accords with their conflicting views of the nature of Tibet and its people - although official Chinese will dislike it more because it makes plain the cruelty of their soldiers during the later Fifties. --Jonathan Mirsky High Peaks Pure Earth
