Wrestling the Dragon. In Search of the Boy Lama who Defied China.
London. Rider. 2004. Stock ID #169697 "When a 14-year-old refugee crossed the Himalayas and arrived in India, China lost its best hope of one day controlling the Tibetan people. It was 5 January 2000 and the boy was the 17th Karmapa - Ogyen Trinley Dorje - the only incarnate lama to be recognised by both the Dalai Lama and China's communist government. Instead of gaining freedom, this young spiritual leader in an ancient line of Tibetan Buddhism became embroiled in Sino-Indian politics and the victim of a violent controversy that still rages today." - Publisher's description.
