N2  - Percival Landon was the special correspondent of the Times of London, who accompanied the military expedition of Col. Younghusband in 1903-04. This book is not only a narrative of the march, but also describes what the first Western eyes saw. It is often political in its tone, but also gives us an insight into the daily lives of Tibetans, their religion, mannerisms, and customs, though not in exhaustive detail. It gives a non-militaristic and journalistic view of the operation of 1903-04
