Centuries have passed since the demise of many precapitalist
agricultural states. Despite the British invasion of 1903 and the
Chinese invasion in 1950, the Tibetan state continued to fully
function until 1959. For this reason, this biography of George
Tsarong not only provides new and in-depth perspectives on the life
of an official of the Tibetan state, but it will also contribute to
the comparative study of precapitalist states. The book weaves
together history and biography to narrate the life of an
aristocratic state official, his education and social life, his
registration and entrance into a civil service career. It also
describes the various personal and state political intrigues he was
involved in and the many grand ceremonies that dominated the life
of a state official. George Tsarong's story is also the story of
the fall of this traditional state and the complex social and
psychological aspects of occupation, resistance and exile.
