Rgyal-lo-don-grub 1928- (DE-588)129026913 aut <<The>> noodle maker of Kalimpong my untold story of the struggle for Tibet Gyalo Thondup and Anne F. Thurston London Random House 2015 xxviii, 353 Seiten Illustrationen, Karten 24 cm txt sti n nc For over half a century, noodlemaker Gyalo Thondup has been a familiar figure in the Himalayan hill town of Kalimpong. But it was not until 2010 that the townsfolk discovered his true identity: Gyalo Thondup is none other than the older brother of the Dalai Lama and his special envoy, a trusted interlocutor between Tibet and foreign leaders from Chiang Kai-shek to Jawaharlal Nehru, Zhou Enlai to Deng Xiaoping. Indeed, only the Dalai Lama himself has played a more important role in the political history of modern, tragedy-ridden Tibet. Now, for the first time, Gyalo Thondup is prepared to tell his story. His remarkable account offers an intimate, personal look at the Dalai Lama and his immediate family, as well as an insider's view of the vicious and sometimes deadly struggles within the Potala Palace - the seat of power in Tibet. His is a story of the 'real' Tibet - a country that is secular as well as sacred, where the source of conflict is not just with China but between Tibetans themselves. Candid and insightful, this long-awaited account reveals Gyalo Thondup to have been a key figure in the great game played out by China, India, Russia and the United States over the strategically important Tibetan plateau Gyalo Thondup was born in 1928 and is the second-eldest brother of the 14th Dalai Lama. During his political career, he has worked as a chief strategist, establishing close links with the CIA and often acting as the Dalai Lama's unofficial envoy. Co-author Anne F. Thurston is a China specialist and senior research professor at the John Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. She has written widely about China and was the ghostwriter of the worldwide bestselling book, The Private Life of Chairman Mao. Her other books include Enemies of the People and A Chinese Odyssey.
