The Unveiling of Lhasa
Langbeschreibung
December, 1903. A border dispute escalates amid rumors of a proposed secret alliance between Russia and the religious monarchy at Lhasa. British Colonel Francis Younghusband marches his Indian troops north with a battalion of coolies and special correspondent for The Daily Mail Edmund Candler in tow. It was a thrilling new chapter in the "Great Game" of Asian colonial supremacy, which sent the men deep into the heart of a region that few outsiders had ever lived to recount.
Edmund Candler was a popular war correspondent, an educator, and the principal of Mohimara College in Patiala State, India. He is the author of The Long Road to Baghdad and Youth and the East: An Unconventional Autobiography. David Leffman is a travel writer and photographer and the coauthor of The Rough Guide to China, The Rough Guide to Indonesia, and The Rough Guide to Iceland 3.
