The history and future of Tibet have long intrigued the world. Will it ever return to independence? What will be the consequences of the ageing and revered Dalai Lama’s succession? Tibet: A History Between Dream and Nation State makes the case that there has been a fully Tibetan independent state for much of its 2,500-year existence; from a great empire in the seventh to ninth centuries, through its long and complicated relationship with China, to 1840 when Tibet began to resume its independent course until communist China invaded in 1950. Since that time, Tibetan nationalism has been maintained primarily by more than 100,000 refugees living abroad. This book is a valuable, fascinating account of a region with a rich history, but an uncertain future.

This beautifully presented and generously illustrated history of Tibet from earliest times until the present day addresses the issue of Tibetan independence with fresh eyes . . . This excellent, well researched and very readable book with its multidisciplinary approach is full of amazing details that are often entertaining, and sometimes shocking. I would strongly recommend it as a starting point for any reader with an interest in discovering more about Tibet’s past and her future path in the modern world.
