Description:
This breathtaking work of travel writing is Pamela Logan's account of her quest for Tibet's elusive Khampa, the fierce horsemen who for nearly fifty years have been waging a quixotic guerrilla war against the Chinese. Logan is no ordinary traveler: she holds a third-degree black belt in karate, and she brings to her search the same discipline and disregard for limits that helped her master her martial art.
Expand description
Cycling, hitchhiking, and trekking across Tibet's vertiginous landscape, dodging border patrols and watching in awe as religious pilgrims inch their way toward Lhasa by prostrating themselves at every body length, Logan is a philosopher-adventurer in the traditions of Alexandra David-Neel and Peter Matthiessen. And Among Warriors is not just a gem of travel reportage, but an act of witness to the courage of the Tibetan people and a book that will captivate anyone interested in Buddhism, the martial arts, or Tibet.
