Having gone to remote Tibet after receiving a directive from the Lord, George Patterson of Scotland was a young man whose spiritual duty consisted of assisting the Khamba tribesmen of the remote mountain kingdom. After having mastered the language and local customs, the resilient Scotsman had become nearly Tibetan himself - when word came that the Chinese Communists were preparing to invade Patterson's adopted homeland. In desperate need of military aid and international protection, Tibetan leaders asked Patterson to make a perilous winter-time horse ride over the Himalayas into neighbouring India. After having survived this seemingly impossible task, Patterson was halted from returning to Tibet by a host of difficulties and new hazards. One of the most lethal threats came from the enraged Chinese authorities who issued orders to have Patterson liquidated. No one has brought a greater array of facts and first-hand observation to bear on the subject of how Patterson's friends and former hosts, the Khamba tribesmen, were determined to resist the communist invaders. Nor has anyone argued Tibet's case with more passion than this author. Thus Tragic Destiny is an astonishing and readable book which recounts the political fortunes of one of the world's most unfortunate countries.
