Here, in full color for the first time, people can come to know the whole drama of his lifelong struggle. Since the age of 15, the Dalai Lama has defended his people against one of the last great empires, the Peoples Republic of China. Under its 'dictatorship of the proletariat,' China began to invade Tibet in 1950, decimating and then continually oppressing its people. Since colonialism cannot be practiced in our era of selfdetermined nations, China always maintains that the Tibetans are a type of Chinese, using propaganda and military power to crush Tibets unique culture and identity. Yet the Dalai Lama resists by using only the weapon of truthalong with resolute nonviolenceeven worrying some of his own people by seeking dialogue and reconciliation based on his more realistic vision.
