Conboy and Morrison do a wonderful job of weaving an intricate maze
of details within the wider perspective of CIA’s operations in
China, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Laos, in retelling a story very few
know about."—The Tibet Journal
"This is a work that makes the reader sit up and take notice. In
the hands of Conboy and Morrison, the broader story of the
U.S.-backed operation that lasted into the 1970s is engaging as
well as important. The tale of Tibet still stands as a salutary
warning of the dilemmas of secret and not-so-secret
wars."—International History Review
"A superb case study on intelligence that will stand the test of
time."—Journal of Military History
"An important story and one that is well told."—Journal of Asian
Studies
"The inside story of one of the CIA’s most tragic covert
operations. Agency officers in the Wild East; nationalist,
religious, and ethnic conflict—this is the stuff of a great yarn,
which the authors tell in engaging detail."—John Prados, author of
Presidents’ Secret Wars: CIA and Pentagon Covert Operations from
World War II Through the Persian Gulf
"A masterful account of how the CIA sought to play the ‘new great
game’ on the roof of the world."—David F. Rudgers, author of
Creating the Secret State: Origins of the Central Intelligence
Agency, 1943–1947
"An excellent and impressive study of a major CIA covert operation
during the Cold War."—William M. Leary, author of Perilous
Missions: Civil Air Transport and CIA Covert Operations in Asia
