The secret exploration of tibet by peter hopkirk. All in all trespassers on the roof of the world is a great book for anyone interested in learning more about central asia s history and is an entertaining read to boot. Realpolitik at work i suppose but i also think it made many people especially the tibetans wonder what all the fuss among westerners over tibet was about in the first place. Trespassers on the roof of the world.

Review of two books that provide a history of the exploration of tibet and its explorers. Once again i thoroughly enjoyed this well researched and fascinating book by peter hopkirk. In trespassers on the roof of the world peter hopkirk transports you to the skeleton strewn paths in the frigid oxygen deprived mountains and exposes you to the vertical mountain passes starvation and marauding bandits in the worlds highest deserts. A mountain in tibet by charles allen.
