Tibet History

Tibet's recorded history spans more than a millennium: Songtsen Gampo's 7th-century empire, the renaissance of the Dalai Lama institution, the 1950 Chinese annexation, the 1959 uprising, and exile. Our Tibet history collection covers all periods in scholarly and accessible titles — from medieval religious histories to contemporary political analyses of the Tibet issue. Includes rare translations of Tibetan-language historical sources and first-hand exile accounts.
