The author, confidant of the Dalai Lama, tells of the mission that took him to Tibet and his part in Tibet's struggle against China. Brought up in a Plymouth Brethren background, Patterson travelled, at the call of God, to Tibet in 1946. Arriving in Kangting he was befriended by the Khamba chieftain Topgyay and embraced the Tibetan lifestyle. After three years of living among the Tibetans, he was sent by the Tibetans, through blizzards and landslides to India, as their emissary to warn Western governments of the impending Chinese takeover of Tibet
