| | | In 1936 Buddhist Monks searched Tibet for the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama and discovered him in the person of a two-year-old farm boy. He was raised among monks to be the religious and governmental leader of his country. When the Dalai Lama was only 15, the Chinese Communists invaded. Nine years later, he was forced to escape into exile. In this fascinating story, the Dalai Lama's isolated palace childhood, his teenage years, his flight into India, and his life in exile are recounted. For his tireless efforts in promoting nonviolence and human rights, the Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1989.
