Simply and without bitterness, Shuguba tells his story: he speaks
of the Chinese invasion and Tibetan military resistance against
overwhelming odds; the bombings, executions, and massacres; the
deaths of his wife and daughter; and his own "trial" and
nineteen-year imprisonment. Shuguba, who was the last surviving
high official from the 14th Dalai Lama's original government,
reveals information that was concealed from the outside world for
over three decades. His recollections of his earlier life offer
intimate views of a unique traditional society that is now all but
extinct. After his release in 1978, Shuguba was brought to the
United States, where he died in 1991 at the age of 87. This moving
personal account is based on Shuguba's autobiography supplemented
by many hours of interviews conducted by writer Sumner Carnahan and
translated by Lama Kunga Rinpoche, a Tibetan high lama who is one
of Shuguba's sons. The book includes rare photos of Shuguba's
family and associates as well as views of monasteries and other
Tibetan cultural treasures that have since been destroyed. The
Tibetan catastrophe -- the brutal ongoing campaign to stamp out
every trace of Tibetan identity, culture, and civilisation --
continues unchecked after more than 35 years.
