Beschreibung

Until last year, no one knew of the CIA's covert operations in Tibet, of the tragic details of the Tibetans' courage, faith, and ultimate abandonment. Only one person could tell that gripping story: John Kenneth Knaus, the 44-year veteran of the CIA who actually ran the covert actions into Tibet in the 1950s and 1960s -- Orphans of the Cold War is Knaus's brilliant and groundbreaking history of one of America's most secret operations. Published to glowing reviews, Orphans of the Cold War is "an absorbing and valuable book...an authoritative account of largely unknown events in a still unresolved struggle". (The Boston Globe) It is a must for anyone who cares about the fate of the Dalai Lama and his nation and "essential reading for all those who follow great maneuverings on this shadowy and historic battlefield".
