This book tells the story of one of the most astonishing epics of modern times: of how, out in the nameless wilds of Tibet, for nearly twenty years a bitter guerilla war against China has been fought by a race of nomadic warriors, the Khambas - men formerly branded by Peking, Britain and the Dlai Lama himself as 'cavaliers, wild and accustomed to living by loot'.
