Riassunto

In 2008, Bhutan triumphantly took the stage as the world’s youngest democracy. But despite its growing prominenceand rising scholarly interest in the countryBhutan remains one of the least studied, and least well-known places on the planet.

Karma Phuntsho’s The History of Bhutan is the first book to offer a comprehensive history of Bhutan in English. Along with a detailed social and political analysis, it offers substantive discussions of Bhutan’s geography and culture; the result is the clearest, richest account of this nation and its history ever published for general readers.

This is a book we have been waiting for' - Mark Mancall, Professor of History, Stanford University 'The first comprehensive, exhaustively researched history of Bhutan ... a must-read for both lay and scholarly audiences interested in Bhutanese history. --Kunzang Choden, author of Circle of Karma
