Since 1959, when China claimed power over this tiny mountain
nation, more than one million Tibetans are believed to have
perished by starvation, execution, imprisonment, and abortive
uprisings. Many thousands more, including their spiritual and
political leader, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, have been driven into
exile.
The country has been systematically colonized, so that
indigenous inhabitants are now a second-class minority. Not only
are Tibetans being squeezed out by Chinese settlers but there are
also reports of Tibetan women being forcibly sterilized and of
healthy babies being killed at birth. Thousands of Tibetans
languish in prison and suffer appalling torture. Rich mineral
resources have been plundered and the delicate ecosystem
devastated. Buddhism, the lifeblood of Tibet, is being ruthlessly
suppressed.
Mary Craig tells the story of Tibet with candor and power. Based
upon extensive research and interviews with large numbers of
refugees now living in exile in India, Tears of Blood uncovers the
four decades of religious persecution, environmental devastation,
and human atrocities that have caused Tibetans to weep "tears of
blood".
