Yak Butter and Black Tea: A Journey into Forbidden China
by Wade Brackenbury

Wade Brackenbury was in search of adventure when he met a French photojournalist named Pascal in southwestern China. Pascal was in search of the Drung people, a dwindling minority said to live in an obscure valley in southern Tibet, cut off from the rest of China by mountains. Forbidden to foreigners and accesible only when the snow in the high passes melted, the valley was only a few hundred miles from the tourist areas. Getting there would take them three years. Yak Butter and Black Tea is a daring journey that offers a glimpse into a little known corner of contemporary China.

"Whether hiking through unexplored mountains, bartering for poison arrows, or being held at gunpoint by angry Chinese police, Wade Brackenbury goes where he wants, no matter what. He carries with him a brimming faith and a wide-eyed innocence that I envy. The adventures he has in this book, quite frankly, scare the hell out of me."
