Amazon.com description: Product Description: The story of a Scotsmanâs perilous undercover journey into Chinese-occupied Tibet. What do you do when adventure calls at an inopportune time? Who do you turn to, but God, when you need answers to how you should travel along an uncertain road? These were the type of personal and spiritual dilemmas George Patterson faced when risk knocked at his door late one night. The missionary George Patterson had married brilliant Scottish scientist, Dr. Meg, and they were raising a family, when his adopted homeland entered their life one last time. Think of Tibet, that frozen kingdom hiding behind its protective barrier of high mountains. Now add in the fact the Red Chinese had recently invaded the country and placed a bounty on Pattersonâs head for his role in rescuing the Dalai Lama. Next, bring in a band of determined Tibetan guerrillas who offer Patterson a chance to witness their attack on the invading Communist army. Thereâs just one catch â he has to leave his wife and children long enough to accompany them on what looks like a one-way journey. The problem is no other westerner can get into Tibet, except Patterson, so the outside world is oblivious to the Chinese invasion and the atrocities being perpetrated on the Tibetans. Thatâs why the rebels need Patterson of Tibet to make one last journey. Just before you leave on this literary journey of a lifetime, donât forget to tie down the independent English film-maker who will document this amazing journey with the Tibetan rebels. Now youâre ready to set off on a roller-coaster of a ride packed with undercover action, fast-shooting freedom fighters, revengeful Communists and a Scotsman whoâs seen more excitement than a dozen other men. Full of sorcery and shamans, political observations and religious beliefs, Pattersonâs âGods and Guerrillasâ is a rare glimpse into the 1960s forgotten war when a handful of Tibetans took on the might of the Red Army.
