      Set against the backdrop of 1938, the narrative follows a Nazi expedition sponsored by Himmler, aiming to uncover the origins of the Aryan race in Tibet. Led by Ernst Schÿfer, a daring naturalist, and Bruno Beger, an anthropologist with troubling theories, the team faces hostility from the British and challenges from the Tibetan environment. Documented through diaries, letters, and rare photographs, their journey reveals the ideological roots of Nazi racial obsession. Christopher Hale's exploration offers a compelling look at this overlooked chapter preceding World War II.
