Monks, Spies and a Soldier of Fortune: Japanese in Tibet Book

During the first half of the 20th century, as Tibet opened its doors to the West, the country was visited by a number of Japanese. Two were monks investigating Tibetan Buddhism; two others were more worldly clerics hoping to manipulate Tibetan politics. Of the laymen, two were spies, one was a soldier of fortune and a fourth was the author of a three-volume adventure story. The present book, based on research into Japanese sources, recounts this virtually unknown episode in the history of travel and exploration. Berry's previous books include "A Stranger in Tibet" (1989) and "Japanese Agent in Tibet" (1990).Read More
