Wikipedia's article on the Cultural Revolution in Tibet, community-edited. Reliable for the standard account of the 1966 ban on the Monlam festival and the decade of suppression that followed; the article itself names a live scholarly dispute over precise destruction figures, the Tibetan government in exile's tally of thousands of monasteries lost against historian Fabienne Jagou's argument that most destruction predates 1966, and this atlas states both positions rather than adopting either as settled.
