This is the best overview of everything Tibetan from a scholarly viewpoint: the religion, history, language, culture, etc. It's not based on what the Dalai Lama thinks like in The Story of Tibet.
It shows both sides of the current conflict with the Chinese. Most other books are biased for either side.

tibetan spirituality is a CIA manufactured construct to help combat the commies.

Actually the entirety of east asia used to be controlled by the Dalai Lama until Jewish Russian Communists invented China.
Tibetan spirituality predates the existence of the U.S.A.
