It shows how the Tibetans were slaughtered especially in the monasteries where they did not possess modern artilary to protect themselves. They were not aware of planes or the modern way of travel in war. It is a very sad story of reality hitting these people of gentle ways against the Chinese military taking over their peaceful land. A tear jerker for sure!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy CustomerAwesome.5 of 8 people found the following review helpful. WOW; what sadness.By Jeremy RoeI never heard of the term "thamzing"; but this book is full of primary sources or accounts of public torture and Chinese communist lies. I cried several times reading this book due to the horrible accounts. There is a real cry; by many of the tortured... why do so many people not believe them?Progress; by no means is worth any human loss of life.
