Perspectives on the Tibetan uprising

by NotTheFifthBeetle

I'm trying to put together a narrative on what happened in the Tibet from about 1950-the late 60s. I'm looking at the three perspectives being the American CIA, the Tibetans themselves, and the Chinese to know their thoughts and motivations during that time frame.

Ok. What are you looking for precisely? Sources?

Goldstein’s History of Modern Tibet. There are four volumes based on this era (1950-1959) Volume 1 mostly focuses on Tibet 1890-1950, but it’s pretty important for this time era.

To put it simply, the CIA didn’t know much about Tibet until the late 50’s onwards but Goldstein goes through all three perspectives. However, it’s focused on Tibet and China (pretty equally too)

Morrison and Conboy wrote the “The CIA’s secret war in Tibet”, which I think would satisfy the CIA in Tibet perspective from late 1950’s-1970’s.

Later today I can link journal articles.
