AT THE heart of Jonathan Green’s new book is an ugly encounter that underscores both China’s barbarous treatment of Tibetans and the West’s confused, thin-blooded response to it. In September 2006 Chinese border guards shot dead a 17-year old nun, Kelsang Namtso, in front of dozens of international mountaineers on a pass between Nepal and Tibet. A Romanian climber filmed the killing, which was broadcast around the world.
