Into Tibet: The CIA's First Atomic Spy and His Secret

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Laird, Thomas, PUBLISHER: Grove/Atlantic, Into Tibet is the incredible story of a American undercover expedition led by America's first atomic agent, Douglas S. Mackiernan -- a covert attempt to arm the Tibetans and to recognize Tibet's independence in the months before China invaded. It recounts a harrowing and unprecedented two-thousand-mile trek on foot and camel across China and the deserts of inner Asia. For the first time, Thomas Laird reveals how Mackiernan helped establish a covert intelligence pipeline from China to India; how he gathered atomic intelligence for the United States; how his partner Frank Bessac urged the Tibetan government to request covert U.S. military aid and then carried the signed request out of Lhasa; and, finally, how Dean Rusk and the CIA responded. Laird reveals how the clash between the State Department and the CIA, as well us unguided actions by field agents, hastened the Chinese invasion of Tibet. Commenting on American motivations during this operation for the first time, the Dalai Lama says bluntly, "The courage was not there." U.S. government actions were ultimately a kiss of death for Tibet and Mackiernan -- the first CIA agent ever killed during a covert operation. A gripping narrative of survival, courage, and intrigue among the nomads, princes, and warring armies of inner Asia, Into Tibet rewrites the accepted history behind the Chinese invasion of Tibet. "Laird does an exemplary job of investigating, reporting, and shaping the events and personalities that compose the tragic story." -- Bob Shacochis, author of The Immaculate Invasion

Sirui Treppiedi S--N carbonio 5 sezioni SN

Sirui',s S--N Carbon Fiber Tripod weighs 2.6 lb and yet can support up to 26.4 lb. The S--N has individual leg spreading capability for low angles or uneven terrain. Besides the standard center column a short center column is included which allows the tripod to get down to 7". One of the legs is removable to convert to a monopod. When folded, the tripod is 17.7" long, and only 1.6" thick. 8 Layers of Carbon Fiber for Superior Load CapacityThe use of 100% carbon fiber and 8 cross pattern layers makes Sirui tripods and monopods capable of supporting impressive load capacities, while providing a lightweight product. In addition to providing high strength and low weight, carbon fiber is also highly resistant to temperature changes, friction (no need for lubrication) and corrosion.Custom Anodized Surface TreatmentAll Sirui products undergo a special anodized surface treatment that makes any metal surfaces highly resistant to wear and increases durability and weather resistance. Anodizing is an environmentally safe electrochemical process. This also prepares the surface to provide better adhesion of colored finishes.Temperature Tolerance TestPhotographers often work in extreme environments, like blazing deserts or sub-zero mountaintops. It is vital that your equipment works under these conditions. That is why all of these products are "torture-tested" under conditions that far exceed what most people will ever experience: -F (-C).Certified Longevity Tests for Quality and ReliabilityTo confirm the quality and reliability of Sirui tripods (and dedication to details), an independent testing lab (SGS) subjected the leg angle lock spring mechanisms to exhaustive longevity tests. The test reports show that even after actuations, the springs continued to perform perfectly.Short Center ColumnAllows low angle shooting for unique perspectives and macro photography.Precision Leg TubesThe difference in diameter of leg tubes is only 3.0mm from tube to retracted tube. Thanks to precision manufacturing, the legs open and close easily, while the small diameter difference provides added leg stability.Half-turn Leg LocksTo lock the legs of Sirui tripods/monopods, twisting locks are utilized for maximum reliability and stability. Simply twist the rubber leg locks 1/2 turn and the legs will extend by themselves.Unique Locking SystemThe Sirui S-N series tripods have a unique leg position locking system that clicks in place when the tripod is opened. This guarantees that the tripod legs will be properly positioned -providing a rugged, stable support for your equipment. Simply open the tripod in the direction of the arrows until it clicks into place. When you',re done shooting, press the red unlock button and close the tripod flat.Non-Twist Center Column/LegsAll Sirui center columns and legs have keyed, grooved channels that prevent twisting, providing additional stability and safety for your photographic equipment.Converts to MonopodThe detachable leg lets you transform your tripod into a monopod, this reduces the amount of equipment you need to carry and makes your camera bag or backpack lighter.

Sirui Treppiedi S--N carbonio 4 sezioni SN

Sirui',s S--N Carbon Fiber Tripod is a complete departure from the old days of "lugging around" a heavy metal tripod. To begin with, it only weighs 2.2 lb and yet can support up to 26.4 lb. The S--N is so versatile in its adjustments that it does about anything you can think of short of bending. It has individual leg spreading capability for low angles or uneven terrain. Besides the standard center column a short center column is included which allows the tripod to squat way down. And it reverses for even lower perspectives. The icing on the cake is a removable leg that converts to a monopod. And when the shoot is over the S--N won',t take up much space either. It folds flat to a mere 1.6" thick. 8 Layers of Carbon Fiber for Superior Load CapacitySirui is one of the few manufacturers who make their own carbon fiber leg tubes. The use of 100% carbon fiber and 8 cross pattern layers makes Sirui tripods and monopods capable of supporting impressive load capacities, while providing a lightweight product. In addition to providing high strength and low weight, carbon fiber is also highly resistant to temperature changes, friction (no need for lubrication) and corrosion.Custom Anodized Surface TreatmentAll Sirui products undergo a special anodized surface treatment that makes any metal surfaces highly resistant to wear and increases durability and weather resistance.
