Wind Between the Worlds: The Extraordinary First-Person Account of a Westerner's Life in Tibet as an Official of the Tibetan Government is the gripping memoir of Robert Ford, a British radio operator who became one of the few Westerners to live and work in Tibet during the 1940s. Sent to help establish vital radio communications across remote Tibetan settlements, Ford found himself immersed in a society little known to the outside world—rich in tradition, spiritual depth, and cultural distinctiveness. His observations offer a rare and intimate portrait of Tibetan life on the eve of seismic political change. Ford was the only Westerner to witness the Tibetan government's fleeing, during which he was taken prisoner.
