Freeing Tibet: 50 Years of Struggle, Resilience, and Hope

In March of 1959, a 23-year-old Tibetan youth named Tenzin Gyatso burst onto the world stage. Fleeing his native country to govern in exile from India, the Dalai Lama has become on of the great leaders our time. With Tibet occupied by communist China, he and others envisioning a free Tibet have worked ceaselessly to save his country's civilization, culture, and freedom while advocating negotiation and non-violence.

Freeing Tibet is the story of this more than fifty-year struggle.
