Front board slightly bowed. This was produced with the cooperation of the National Geographic Society and a grant from the Kimberly-Clark Corporation. Ellis Island, in Upper New York Bay, was the gateway for over 12 million immigrants to the U.S. as the United States' busiest immigrant inspection station for over 60 years from 1892 until 1954. Ellis Island was opened January 1, 1892. The island was greatly expanded with land reclamation between 1892 and 1934. Before that, the much smaller original island was the site of Fort Gibson and later a naval magazine. The island was made part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument in 1965 and has hosted a museum of immigration since 1990. It was long considered part of New York, but a 1998 United States Supreme Court decision found that most of the island is in New Jersey. The south side of the island, home to the Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital, is closed to the general public and the object of restoration efforts spearheaded by Save Ellis Island. More

The first full account of the Dalai Lama and Tibet since the Chinese Conquest. Despite all their efforts, the Chinese have faiIed to subdue the Tibetans, and, as this book amply documents, they know it. Thus, in 1978, they began to make overtures to the Dalai Lama, gestures that had let to negotiations for his possible return and to his announcement early in 1983, vividly portrayed in the closing pages, that he will visit Tibet in 1985. Most of the material in this book--the triumphs of the exiles, the devastation wrought by the Chinese, the inner workings of Tibetan Buddhism--has never before been made known. Certainly no other writer has been closer to this unique story, a story filled with tragedy, but suffused with a rare sense of resilience and hope. This work is now considered a classic, this is an eloquent and compellingly told account of the Dalai Lama's exile from Tibet after its conquest by China. More
