Press Release on Thomas Laird's new book:
INTO TIBET: The CIA’s Secret Expedition to Lhasa (Grove Press, August 2002,
$26 Cloth), is the…story of a 1949-1950 American undercover expedition led
by America's first atomic agent, Douglas S. Mackiernan -- a covert attempt
to arm the Tibetans and to recognize Tibet's independence in the months
before China invaded. It recounts a harrowing and unprecedented
two-thousand-mile trek on foot and camel across China and the deserts of
inner Asia.
Thomas Laird reveals how Mackiernan helped establish a
covert intelligence pipeline from China to India; how he gathered atomic
intelligence for the United States; how his partner Frank Bessac urged the
Tibetan government to request covert U.S. military aid and then carried the
signed request out of Lhasa; and, finally, how Dean Rusk and the CIA
responded.
