"The expedition to Lhasa six years ago has already had three
historians, but Sir Francis Younghusband's work is invested
with a special value which none of its predecessors can
claim. He was the responsible leader of the Mission of 1904,
and what he has to say about it, and about the circumstances
which led to its despatch, bears the stamp of final and
indisputable authority ... a full and balanced account of
the political aspects of the Tibetan problem, the motives
which led to the unveiling of Lhasa, the results of the
Mission, and the questions which still await solution. His
book, therefore, constitutes the most important contribution
yet made to the growing store of literature about
Tibet."--_Times._
