Like Andrew Harvey's Journey to Ladakh and Peter Matthiessen's The Snow Leopard; this is another great adventure into the Himalayas; visiting lonely monasteries; crossing through Tibet; Sikkim; and Nepal; and meeting with Buddhist lamas; who teach us about the mystery of our own being--our own buddha nature. 20 photographs.

Worth itBy VJMy late father-in-law was in the Cavalry at this time and participated in this expedition so I have a personal interest in the subject.I might have liked a longer narrative; but I presume I can get that in any number of narratives covering this "punitive" expedition against Pancho Villa.I now regret I didn't question him more about his part while he was still with us in the early 60s when I married his daughter; but my interest in such matters had not yet fully formed. I had recently finished my military service and was full up with Army matters.Overall; nice short narrative of this Hollywood style American military adventure.Virgil JoseAuthor: "The Examined Life;" A Gil Rodrigues mystery in Kindle and paperback.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy William D. NewsomArrived on time and as advertised.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Great book; chock full of information...By Ib MelchiorA great overview and introduction to this important and overlooked event - including allot of great information; text and photos at the end of the book about the town and site as it is today - great for the visitor to New Mexico to see the real sites of the event. This was an important event in the transition of the US into a major world power and the prep for WW1. A great book.
