Synopsis
While traveling through Tibet in 1987 on his way to Everest, an American physician and his old college friend inadvertently walked into one of the grimmest scenes of political oppression in the world. Though they knew that Tibet had long been subject to Chinese military rule, their outrage grew as a series of demonstrations by Tibetan monks were swiftly and brutally quashed by Chinese forces.

Review
"Sky Burial is the distilled truth--alternately tragic, hilarious, and rousing--of two young Americans' exposure to the joyous spirit of the Tibetan people and their courageous struggle to survive under the brutal subjugation of Chinese communist rule. It is a vivid portrait of a critical moment in Tibet's modern history. An evocative, endearing, and invaluable book."--John Avedon, author of In Exile from the Land of Snows
"The story is told uncommonly well by Kerr--a well-crafted text by a writer sure of his talents."--Tibet JournalAbout the Author
Blake Kerr is a graduate of Dartmouth College and SUNY Buffalo School of Medicine. In 1987 he traveled to Tibet, where he witnessed the violent repression of Tibetan nationalist demonstrations by Chinese police in Lhasa. Since then he has journeyed several times to Tibetan refugee communities in India and returned twice to Tibet in order to document human rights abuses. He currently works as a general practitioner on eastern Long Island, where he lives with his wife, Kate.
