A Man to Match His Mountains: Badshah Khan, Nonviolent Soldier of Islam
"Eknath Easwaran's great achievement is telling an American  audience about an Islamic practitioner of pacifism at a moment when few  in the West understand its effectiveness and fewer still associate it  with anything Islamic. --Coleman McCarthy, Washington Post"This biography of Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan centers on the  metamorphosis he effected in the violence-afflicted Pathans of India's  northwest frontier turning them into the peaceful nonviolent disciples  of Gandhi during India's independence movement. Easwaran focuses on the  spiritual change and on Ghaffar Khan's leadership of the Pathans and  his emergence as the frontier Gandhi. . . .This biography . . . should  have a unique appeal for the interested general reader." --Library Journal
