In 2006 something happened in Tibet, something that probably happens many times per year, but for once it was caught on film, film that was later spread outside China.
This book tells the story of those months, of those people, on all sides except the Chinese Army (which I guess were not interested in talking about what they had done) and it's a story that would make everyone sad, that would make almost everyone angry, would make most people disappointed.
The reason you should be angry is that this talks about how China treats Tibet and the Tibetan people. It's a very remote area of the world and little news leave or enter that area that isn't controlled by the Chinese government. That has sadly allowed them to treat the people living there in a terrible way without much proof.
China is a dictatorial one-party state. They torture and kill their own people. They lie, cheat and use subterfuge to prevent information from coming out. And the sad part, everyone in the western world knows this deep inside, but with the increasing power of the Chinese state, and increasing wealth, the greed overcomes the conscience and we ignore it. Sad. Very sad.
