Negative Positive
Title: communist party line
Review: I found this book dishonest because schell uses quotations out of context, has unnamed sources when using gossip, and tries to sound like a friend of Tibet when he clearly is not. His position is clearly for China's invasion of Tibet. In this book are all the old misinformations that the Chinese government has been using to justify invading Tibet. He spent so many pages talking about Brad Pitt, whom he had not spoken to, and all Brad Pitt did was act in a movie about Tibet. Mr Schell knows nothing about Tibetan Buddhism and should not be writing on the subject. Readers should get the information from thier sources. For Mr. Schell's position read up on the Chinese Communist position. For books on Buddhism find books about Buddhism, preferably from authoritative Tibetan sources. For human rights issues Amnesty International is a good source. Don't waste your time reading this ill informed and biased author.
