Starts out slow but great finish. Gives a wonderful picture of Tibet. A great read.

Penned following WW II, this is a journal, if you will, by a German who flees incarceration in India by the British at the onset of the "big war." As such, it becomes not merely an account of his wanderings and experiences in Tibet, but somewhat of an adventure and a clear picture of life in this forbidden land. Although quite dated, it yet remains a compelling recount of the drama of the times.
