There are a couple books about it. The other place they trained them was in Ithaca, which is why there is still a big tibetan community there and that's where the Dalai Lama's summer home is. It's a pretty crazy story though; iirc after China found out about the program the CIA just disowned them rather than helping to further support or extract them, and just left them all over there to die.

Just like the Bay of Pigs.
Any books you'd recommend?
I haven't read any of them, but there are a few with good reviews on Amazon.
