Publisher's Synopsis
Rinchen Sadutshang was born in 1928 near the Tibet-China and served in the Dalai Lama's government both before and after the 1959 Communist takeover. A refugee alongside tens of thousands of his countrymen, but one of very few who spoke English, he played a crucial role in bringing the plight of the Tibetan people to the world's attention and preserving the Tibetan culture and way of life. In this memoir, published just months after his passing in July of 2015, Sadutshang recounts his long, fascinating career in service to the Tibetan cause. From meeting British viceroys and Chinese generals to successfully pleading Tibet's case before the United Nations, he offers a first-hand perspective to extraordinary historical events.
