Don't doubt it. It was given to me for a Birthday Pressie some years ago but for some reason I have only just read it right through. I had read a few Chapters but not all & then I'd put it down again.
On that book cover the thing that he propped himself up on to film that scene is apparently a North Viet. stiff.


Oh well, any port in a storm.

Got a good one for you, if you can find it. 'The Dragon in the Land of Snows". A history of modern Tibet since 1947, by Tsering Shakya. The back cover reads

" At last , the history of Tibet we have all been waiting for. It will irritate both Chinese and Tibetan chauvinists as it explodes their myths , misunderstandings and propaganda. The truth of Tibet's last fifty years."
Published by Pimlico in 1999.Using the withdrawal of the British from India as starting point, a chapter on the Sino Indian conflict is interesting. With the current expansion of China through the BRI, this gives an excellent background to all the goings on in the area for the past few years. What is not surprising is that the CIA took a number of Khampas [ Tibetan warriors of the Dalai Lama.] to Saipan for training.

And the clouds are parting. Time to go fishing.

We're in a type of semi lockdown, asked not to leave the area, masks until at least the end of the weekend.
Just checked the NSW Health website and none of us at work need to get tested or isolate. Yet.

That is ok then Rick. It means you can now hold up the Toowoomba Stage so long as you do it before midnight Sunday. Just stand at your front gate, they'll never know who done it, roight?

The " missing link " found. This all came about from hotel quarantine, and lack of vaccine to vaccinate health workers looking after COVID patients.
