Well as it happens all that I know about the tantric side of Buddhism I learned from conversation as such.
Books tend to call it Vajrayana or 'Diamond Way' Buddhism. The diamond here is a translation of a concept which is closer to the concept of 'The Indestructible Vehicle'.
It relies on there being a master and a student and can be either dharmic or tantric in its approach.
The basic idea is that the teacher evaluates what it is the student needs to do to attain enlightenment and then instructs him to do it. In tantra the path to enlightenment can be as short as a few years.
However, because of the inherent risks teachers are often reluctant and books tend to shy clear of the heart of the subject altogether.
Having experienced some of the things I have following the path I can't say I necessarily disagree.
If you have any more questions I'll be happy to answer them. It's a shame you're not here any more as it's a beer conversation if ever there was one.
