The old world of traditional Tibet had its few windows to the outside world slammed shut when Chinese troops completed their conquest in 1959. This is the life of Tashi Khedrup, who was born in a traditional Tibetan village, ordained as a monk in one of the great monasteries, and eventually became a Dob-dob, or 'fighting monk' responsible for policing the monastery. He fled from the Chinese with the Dalai Lama, and instantly faced a world he never imagined could exist. Having lost one leg in his flight from Tibet, the homeland he was never to see again, he had no choice but to adjust to his new life. He died on the Isle of Man, UK, in 1986. "For those of you interested in analyzing life in Tibet from a secular perspective this book should prove to be a valuable resource." Paul Ratchford, Tibetan Biographies, March, 2007.
