Among warriors

Adventurer and martial arts pilgrim Pamela Logan recounts her remarkable journey through the wilds of eastern Tibet in search of both inspiration for her karate practice and knowledge of the famed warrior tribes of that region. Her goal is Kham, whose warriors - the Khampas - are renowned for their ferocity, banditry and ruthlessness. Overcoming mountains, snowstorms, sickness and police interference, using all of her resources to gain entrance to both the physical and spiritual Tibet hidden from Westerners, Logan traces routes used by famous Himalayan travelers Alexandra David-Neel and Peter Matthiessen - and blazes some new trails of her own.
