The work demonstrates Stein's mastery in the field of Tibetan studies and the depth of his knowledge of the surrounding cultures. Drawing as far as possible on Chinese and Tibetan sources as well as Western scholarship, Stein gives us an overall view of the civilization and relates developments in Tibet to those in the rest of Asia. The account is rich in detail and covers both ancient and modern Tibet. The book is written for the non-specialist educated reader as well as the scholar.
