			        		&quot; ... an evocative, breathless, compellingly written view of this epic journey, among the greatest escape sagas of them all ...&quot; &#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0; -- William Gilkerson, award-winning author of Pirate&apos;s Passage.&quot;A powerful, impressive book. From Lion&apos;s Jaws left me transfixed on many levels with its lucid portrayals of courage and perseverance involving over three hundred Tibetan refugees ... a breath-taking account of a haunting and inspiring journey of spiritual and physical courage on a life or death escape through freezing weather over towering mid-winter snow-capped mountains ...&quot; &#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0; -- Rudy Wurlitzer, screenwriter and novelist -- Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, Little Buddha, Slow Fade and The Drop Edge of Yonder, among many other works.&quot;A wonderful read. Apart from the extraordinary story, so rich and layered, of Ch&#xF6;gyam Trungpa&apos;s early life at the Surmang monastery, and of the incredible trek against astounding odds - parts of the journey were unbearable even to read - there is the vast and austere landscape, the history, the politics. From Lion &apos;s Jaws should find very many readers, and will be hugely beneficial. It is a moving and beautiful tour de force.&quot;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0; &#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0; -- Jane Rosenthal, award-winning Literary Critic, Mail & Guardian.
