Heinrich Harrer is one of the very few Westerners who knew the old Tibet.His bestselling book Seven Years in Tibet told of an idyllic life on the 'rooftop of the world', before he was forced to flee from the invading Chinese armies.Thirty years later, he returns to describe how the Chinese have attempted to destroy this ancient civilization. With over fifty photographs of Tibet, past and present, Return to Tibet provides a fascinating insight into the durability of this profoundly spiritual culture.'His vivid comparative reporting, the clear accounts of a number of important interviews and contemporary themes and his deeply felt sense of human tragedy give this book an importance for the general reader far greater than other tourist travelogues of the last few years' - The Times Literary Supplement
