Description:"An incredible story ..."-- Midwest Book Review." Superb ...could not put it down... Outstanding !"-- The RebeccasReads eZine, which gave Lost in Tibet its 'Best in History' award."An entertaining and well-written book..."-- National Geographic Adventure.In 1943 , at the height of World War II, five young American airmen were flying a dangerous supply route over the Himalayas known as 'the Hump'. Caught in a violent storm and blown hundreds of miles off course , they were forced to bail out just seconds before their planeran out of fuel. To their astonishment, the airmen landed in the heart of Tibet - at the time, a tightly sealed land that was deeply suspicious of foreigners. The five airmen were taken to Lhasa - two years before Heinrich Harrer, author of Seven Years in Tibet - becoming among the first few Americans ever to see that city. The young airmen were forced to confront what, to them, was a bizarre, often hostile, people; and while in Lhasa, they were drawn into the political turmoil that even then was raging around Tibet's fight to be independent from China. To avert an international incident and to ensure their own safety, the five men were forced to flee and set out -in the middle of winter - on a perilous journey across the Tibetan plateau that soon developed into a desperate race against time.Lost in Tibet is a taut account of the airmen's adventures. Impeccably researched and tightly written , it also sheds light on the remarkable Tibetan people as they struggled to cope with a hostile world they did not yet understand.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
