Excellent journalistic treatment of the politics of Tibet vs. China. It's a much larger than just the Dalai Lama. The author leans strongly toward sympathizing with Tibetans who want autonomy and religious freedom, but it's not doctrinaire in this emphasis. Very readable and engaging, and highly recommended.
