Obscure? Well, maybe. But after four people told me this book was a must in as many weeks, I took a copy home. Now I'm telling others, You have to read this! Part thriller, part biography, part history, Badshah Khan's life story is remarkable by any measure: dubbed the Frontier Gandhi, he raised a nonviolent army of followers from one of India's most violent minorities, the islamic Pathans of the Khyber Pass.Khan's message offers a weapon of hope for deadlocked conflicts around the globe -- in the Middle East, India, Central America, the Balkans -- wherever people have forgotten that peace and forgiveness are possible.
