520    In December 2010 residents of Kalimpong, a town on the 
       Indian border with Tibet, turned out en masse to welcome 
       the Dalai Lama. It was only then they realized for the 
       first time that the neighbor they knew as the noodle maker
       of Kalimpong was also the Dalai Lama's older brother. The 
       Tibetan spiritual leader had come to visit the Gaden 
       Tharpa Choling monastery and join his brother for lunch in
       the family compound. Gyalo Thondup has long lived out of 
       the spotlight and hidden from view, but his whole life has
       been dedicated to the cause of his younger brother and 
       Tibet. He served for decades as the Dalai Lama's special 
       envoy, the trusted interlocutor between Tibet and foreign 
       leaders from Chiang Kai-shek to Jawaharlal Nehru, Zhou 
       Enlai to Deng Xiaoping. Traveling the globe and meeting 
       behind closed doors, Thondup has been an important witness
       to some of the epochal events of the twentieth century. No
       one has a better grasp of the ongoing great game as the 
       divergent interests of China, India, Russia, and the 
       United States continue to play themselves out over the 
       Tibetan plateau. Only the Dalai Lama himself has played a 
       more important role in the political history of modern, 
       tragedy-ridden Tibet. Indeed, the Dalai Lama's dramatic 
       escape from Lhasa to exile in India would not have been 
       possible without his brother's behind-the-scenes help. Now,
       together with Anne F. Thurston, who cowrote the 
       international bestseller The Private Life of Chairman Mao,
       Gyalo Thondup is finally telling his story. The settings 
       are exotic-the Tibetan province of Amdo where the two 
       brothers spent their early childhood; Tibet's legendary 
       capital of Lhasa; Nanjing, where Thondup received a 
       Chinese education; Taiwan, where he fled when he could not
       return to Tibet; Calcutta, Delhi, and the Himalayan hill 
       towns of India, where he finally made his home; Hong Kong,
       which served as his listening post for China, and the 
       American Rockies, where he sent young Tibetan resistance 
       fighters to be trained clandestinely by the CIA. But 
       Thondup's story does not reiterate the otherworldly, 
       Shangri-La vision of the Land of Snows so often portrayed 
       in the West. Instead, it is an intimate, personal look at 
       the Dalai Lama and his immediate family and an inside view
       of vicious and sometimes deadly power struggles within the
       Potala Palace-that immensely imposing architectural wonder
       that looms over Lhasa and is home to both the spiritual 
       and secular seats of Tibetan power.
