In May 1995, a seven year old Tibetan boy was taken from his home with his parents and younger brother by Chinese security services. Neither the boy nor his family has been seen since. His devotees believe him to be the 11th incarnation of the Panchen Lama, the second most important incarnation in the Tibetan Buddhist hierarchy. This book tells, for the first time, the fascinating inside story of how this boy became the innocent prize in a battle between China and the Dalai Lama. It reveals thehigh politics and intrigue that accompanied the race to find the child and enthrone him as Tibet's future religious leader and explores the history of Tibet's High Lamas and the role they played in shaping their country's unique culture.
