Rezensionen

'No book review can do justice to this overwhelming and almost intimidating sum of detailed scholarship and careful translation and editing. This book, not only for its historical contents and the point of view of its author, but also for its academic "tour de force", is a great contribution to the history of Tibet and will benefit Tibetans and Westerners alike.'
Françoise Pommaret, The Journal of Asian Studies , 70/1 (2011)
