For nearly twenty years, one of the most astonishing epics in modern times has been unfolding in the vast, isolated plains of Tibet. There a fierce race of nomadic warriors called the Khambas has been waging a ceaseless, bitter guerilla war against the forces of the Communist Chinese - and fighting them to a standstill. Here, for the first time, is the detailed account of this incredible "secret" war in which, sometimes on horseback to attack armored cars, sometimes shooting with muskets at jet bombers, the members of the "Race of Kings" have become the only people of Asia directly and successful to defy the Chinese in combat.
