Trespassers On The Roof Of The World: The Race For Lhasa is a gripping history of how Tibet, long hidden behind the Himalayas and ruled by a God‑king, was gradually forced open by foreign explorers and imperial ambition. Peter Hopkirk follows agents, soldiers, missionaries, mountaineers, and mystics from nine different countries as they compete—often in disguise and at great personal risk—to be the first Westerners to reach Lhasa, Tibet’s sacred capital. Blending adventure storytelling with meticulous research, the book traces the secret expeditions, deadly terrain, and political intrigue that culminate in the “ultimate trespass”: the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1950. Readers interested in Tibet, the Great Game, and Asian history discover a fast-paced account of how global powers collided over the world’s most mysterious highland kingdom.
