Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.3 MB
Overview: "… One of those dazzling biographies that informs our modern life."—Susan Eisenhower, Chairman of the Eisenhower Group, author of Mrs. Ike
"Today more than ever, Muslims and non-Muslims alike need to be reminded of the courage, compassion and intellect of Emir Abd el-Kader… Abd el-Kader’s jihad provides Muslims with a much- needed antidote to the toxic false jihads of today, dominated by anger, violence and politics." — His Royal Highness, Prince Hassan bin Talal (Prince of Jordan)
"Abd el-Kader teaches the French and the world that to achieve success, moral authority is necessary, not simply military might…This fascinating revival of a 19th century world hero’s story holds valuable lessons for today’s Middle East Warrior. It would be a worthwhile addition to any reading list."—Col. Jon Smythe, USMC ( ret.)
"Abd el-Kader lived by a chivalric code steeped in the Arab concept of honor. When, in our own day al-Qaeda terrorists claim the title of ‘knight,’ it’s worth recalling a time when Arab warriors embodied the noblest attributes of knighthood: courage compassion and restraint."—Steve Simon, research fellow, Council on Foreign Relations
