"A personal memoir by Paljor Thondup, a native-born "Khampa"-an inhabitant of Kham, a large southeastern region of Tibet; an account of his childhood and youth shared with his friend Dupa, and the journey they and their two families take across the east-west length of Tibet, while engaging in combat as guerrilla fighters against occupying Chinese forces in the late '50s and early '60s, and their escape to the west, ultimately to Nepal. The latter part of the book deals with the growth of the two friends into businessmen in Nepal and then founders of a cultural center for Tibetans ("Project Tibet") in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where their efforts are appreciated and blessed by a visit from the Dalai Lama. The two old friends return to Tibet to revisit their birthplace and bring in funding for Tibet-language schools for young Tibetans-now second-class citizens under the Chinese-before the occupation government discovers their activities and expels them from Tibet."--
