Paperback. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: no dj. In Forbidden China. Book.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles a forbidden expedition through the unexplored regions of China and Tibet. The author traveled on horseback and on foot through rugged terrain, often in disguise, to reach the independent territories of the Lolos and the Si-Fan, ethnic groups that fiercely resisted domination. In doing so, the author challenges many misconceptions of the day, including the notion that the Chinese people are a monolithic ethnic group. Along the way, the author contemplates themes such as war and peace, the motivations of explorers, and the malleability of borders and nations. This book serves as a testament to the power of one man's determination to unravel the mysteries of a hidden world and sheds light on the complex history and diversity of the Far East.
