The history of Tibet, China relations, and tenets of Buddhism serve as a backdrop for the story of how one man, acting on deeply held beliefs and principles, has become a hero worldwide. Supplemental digital materials, including timelines, biographies, and primary source documents and visuals, interspersed throughout the book's digital version add depth and context.
