The problem with the history of twentieth-century Europe is that everyone thinks they know it. The great stories of the century - the two world wars, the rise and fall of Nazism and communism, female emancipation - seem self-evidently important.

滕华睿，现为美国哥伦比亚大学语言文化系助理教授。他的研究领域是二十世纪汉藏关系史，以及西藏与基于汉地的满清帝国之关系。藏传佛教在这些历史关系中扮演的角色对他的研究至关重要。他从一九九零年起就研究中国和西藏问题，并多次前往当地考察。 “过去半个世纪里发生的事件使许多人得出这样的结论：西藏和中国的关系一直以互相猜疑和怨愤为特点。然而，正如滕华睿在这令人印象深刻的研究中所记述的一样，直到二十世纪初两个民族之间仍然存在着紧密联系的网络：汉僧在藏传佛教寺庙学习，班禅喇嘛进行密宗仪式以保护中国不受日本的侵略。如果过去实际上是一个序幕，我们仔细阅读滕华睿所讲述的精彩故事会获益匪浅。”— Donald S.
