The passage describes the story of Tibetan resistance against Chinese oppression, with a particular focus on the role played by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the United States. The authors, Kenneth Conboy and James Morrison, provide a comprehensive account of the CIA's involvement in Tibet's revolt against China, which began in the 1950s and lasted for several decades.
The book describes how the CIA established training camps in the Colorado Rockies to train Tibetan rebels, and then helped secure the safe passage of the Dalai Lama to India, where he established a government-in-exile. The agency also established a rebel army in Nepal and a para-commando force in India to operate behind Chinese lines. The authors provide previously unreported details about secret missions undertaken in harsh conditions, using sources that include Tibetan and Nepalese agents, Indian intelligence officers, and even mission aircrews.
