Summary:
When Communist China marched into Tibet in 1949, Tibetans took up arms against the invading forces. Unknown to most, from the mid-1950s to 1969 the CIA armed, financed, and trained Tibetan guerrillas in an effort to curtail the expansion of communism. This project, code named ST Circus, was one of the CIA's longest-running covert operations. To the dismay of Tibetan soldiers, the CIA pulled out their support when the U.S. decided that ST Circus was no longer in the best interest of America's political and economic agenda.
