A hundred years ago, in 1904, a British mission under Francis Younghusband, along with
a formidable military escort commanded by Brigadier-General James Macdonald, entered
Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. Thus nearly 150 years of British attempts from their Indian
base to establish formal diplomatic relations with the ruling Tibetan theocracy culminated
in the deployment of massive armed force. While the Younghusband venture failed to
achieve nearly all its stated objectives, it undoubtedly marked the opening of a new era in
Central Asian history the full consequences and complexities of which have yet to be
revealed in full. To the steadily growing band of students of the history, nature and
consequences of Anglo-Tibetan contacts, in which the Younghusband mission features so
prominently, Julie Marshall’s revised and enormously expanded version of her
bibliography of works relating to British relations with Tibet from 1765 to 1947, of
which the first version appeared in 1977, cannot fail to be of outstanding value. Its
publication is indeed an appropriate event in the Younghusband centenary.
