This bibliography is a record of British relations with Tibet in
the period 1765 to 1947. As such it also involves British relations
with Russia and China, and with the Himalayan states of Ladakh,
Lahul and Spiti, Kumaon and Garhwal, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan and
Assam, in so far as British policy towards these states was
affected by her desire to establish relations with Tibet. It also
covers a subject of some importance in contemporary diplomacy. It
was the legacy of unresolved problems concerning Tibet and its
borders, bequeathed to India by Britain in 1947, which led to
border disputes and ultimately to war between India and China in
1962. These borders are still in dispute today. It also provides
background information to Tibet's claims to independence, an issue
of current importance.
The work is divided into a number of sections and subsections,
based on chronology, geography and events. The introductions to
each of the sections provide a condensed and informative history of
the period and placethe books and article in their historical
context. Most entries are also annotated. This work is therefore
both a history and a bibliography of the subject, and provides a
rapid entry into a complex area for scholars in the fields of
international relations and military history as well as Asian
history.
