TIBET'S WAR OF PEACE:
a nation's nonviolent struggle for freedom
About the Book:

In September 1987, a meeting between the Dalai Lama and members of the United States Congress triggered mass demonstrations in Tibet, which resulted in the murder of unarmed Tibetan protesters in front of Western witnesses and the birth of an international movement to free Tibet from Chinese rule.

Over two hundred Tibet support groups have formed in fifty countries, committed to helping Tibetans regain their freedom. People from all walks of life have taken up the cause, from movie stars to office secretaries, conservative politicians to environmental activists.

In Tibet's War of Peace, Dennis Cusack tells the story of the people and events behind the world's best-known but least understood contemporary nonviolent campaign. Cusack describes its evolution, its philosophical foundation, and its political realities. He concludes with a provocative vision of its possible future.

"Tibet's War of Peace fills a big gap in Tibet's recent history and provides the reader a clear sense of where the question of Tibet stands today. It is a must-read for all Tibetans, including Tibetan government officials in Dharamsala, members of Tibet support groups, and the average person interested in keeping abreast of what is happening with the Tibetan situation. . . . While it recognizes the real difficulties and challenges faced by the Tibetans, it is upbeat about Tibet's future."
