About the Book:-The author has intended to write a somewhat dealing with the technical volume scientific results of his journey through Tibet with special thorough reference to anthropology, both physical and social. It was interesting to be forced to see Tibet and the Tibetans from the Tibetan point of view, to live as a Tibetan for months when a false word or act would have given him away, to be forced to study their quaint customs, not merely from a dry, dull, scientific standpoint, but also that he might journey among without being detected. He has tried to describe some of the varied experiences which he encountered during his secret expedition to the sacred city and also weave through the record a general but accurate description of manners and customs and beliefs, including some of the extraordinary institutions which exist in the government of Lhasa. Finally, he gives an adequate description of the great transformation which has taken place in Tibet the last few years, so that he hopes it can be claimed that his book gives to the general public its first exact information concerning the present diplomatic, political, military, and industrial situation in a country which occupies such an important strategic center that it is of interest to all students of Asiastic and world affairs. The book also contains about 65 illustrations and three maps to make it more interesting. About the Author:-William Montgomery McGovern was an American adventurer, political scientist, Northwestern University professor, anthropologist and journalist. He was possibly an inspiration for the character of Indiana Jones. McGovern's life may be more incredible than the fictional character he spawned. By age 30, he had already explored the Amazon and braved uncharted regions of the Himalayas, survived revolution in Mexico, studied at Oxford and the Sorbonne and become a Buddhist priest in a Japanese monastery. He became a beloved lecturer, war correspondent and military strategist.
