Description

The Unveiling of Lhasa is Edmund Candler’s compelling firsthand account of the British military expedition to Tibet in 1904, led by Colonel Francis Younghusband. As a war correspondent embedded with the expedition, Candler witnessed the dramatic journey through treacherous mountain passes and the historic entry into the forbidden city of Lhasa.

This remarkable historical narrative captures the political intrigue, military strategy, and cultural encounters that defined this pivotal moment in British imperial history and Tibetan affairs. Candler’s detailed observations provide invaluable insights into Lhasa’s architecture, monasteries, people, and the complex negotiations between British forces and Tibetan authorities.

A significant historical document, this work serves as both an adventure narrative and a critical examination of imperial expansion in Asia during the early twentieth century. Essential reading for historians, Tibet scholars, and those interested in colonial history and Central Asian geopolitics.
