Overview

In this unique text, His Holiness the Dalai Lama tells the full story of his 75-year struggle with China to save Tibet and its people. The Dalai Lama has had to contend with the People's Republic of China his entire life. He was 15 years old when communist China invaded Tibet in 1950, only 19 when he had his first meeting with Chairman Mao in Beijing, and 24 when he was forced to escape to India and became a leader in exile. Almost 75 years after China's initial invasion of Tibet, the Dalai Lama has faced communist China's leaders - Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping - in his effort to protect Tibet and its people. In 'Voice for the Voiceless', the Dalai Lama reminds the world of Tibet's unresolved struggle for freedom and the hardship his people continue to face in their homeland.
