The Magical Buffet has posted a stellar review of Andrei Znamenski’s new book, Red Shambhala: Magic, Prophecy, and Geopolitics in the Heart of Asia!

“Where on Earth do I begin? ‘Red Shambhala: Magic, Prophecy, and Geopolitics in the Heart of Asia’ by Andrei Znamenski was totally alien to me. Knowledge of Tibetan Buddhism? Minimal. Familiarity with the politics of Eurasia in the 1920′s and 1930′s? Nonexistent. An understanding of the variety of interpretations of Shambhala and its associated prophecies? Nope. Are you now frightened of this daunting book? Well don’t be.”

Red Shambhala comes out in June.  You pre-order the book and learn more about the author on Amazon.  You can also get updated tour information here.
