Persia in the Great Game: Sir Percy Sykes – explorer, consul, soldier, spy by Antony Wynn (Lume Books) (69 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Percy Sykes was sent by Army Intelligence in the 1890s, first as an explorer and spy, then to open consulates along Persia's eastern borders. His job was to deter Russian expansion towards India. In his time, Sir Percy Sykes was a legend of empire: unpaid, he rode through thousands of miles of the harshest desert, marsh and mountain, often with his indomitable sister. He did whatever he felt necessary to protect his country's interests: when consul at Meshed during a very turbulent time, he bugged the Russian consulate and, armed only with diplomacy, single-handedly faced down a Russian attempt to annex north-east Persia. But Sykes was not the typical servant of empire. He hunted gazelle with princes, read Persian poetry, sat at the feet of dervish masters and got to the heart of the country. Persia in the Great Game explores Sykes' 25 years in Persia with humour and domestic detail, to give an insight that is instructive today. Praise for Persia in the Great Game: 'A ...

Flight of the Forgotten: A True Story of Heroism and Betrayal by Mark Vance (161 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Flight of the Forgotten is the true story of one of the most closely-guarded American military secrets of all time. It is intriguing, controversial and thought-provoking. The story traverses 50 years, two generations and the realities of our physical world. The triggering event is the tragic loss of an American Eighth Air Force bomber crew in 1945 under mysterious circumstances while enroute home after the end of World War II. The loss represents a 50-year-old aviation mystery, officially "forgotten" by the United States Government. Details described and amplified within the story remain permanently "buried" inside a top-secret O.S.S. file to this day. This book is a public counter to official efforts by the United States Government to have the events permanently erased from the public record. The author's extensive research indicates that those events involve murder, conspiracy and sabotage by the O.S.S., the forerunner to the modern CIA.

Puppets of Faith: Theory of Communal Strife: A Critical Appraisal of Islamic Faith, Indian Polity ‘n More by BS Murthy (2 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

The sublimity of Muhammad's preaching in Mecca and the severity of his sermons in Medina make Islam a Janus-faced faith that forever bedevils the mind of the Musalmans. This thought-provoking work, possibly in a new genre, besides dissecting the anatomy of Islam, steeped in the Quran, seeks to depict the psyche of the Musalmans, shaped by the proclivities of their prophet, vicissitudes of his life and the attitudes of his detractors, which the mechanism of their umma perpetuates. More to the point, aided by "I'm Ok - You're Ok", the path-breaking work of Thomas A. Harris and Roland E Miller's "Muslim Friends-Their Faith and Feeling", this book, for the first time ever, psycho-analyzes the imperatives of the Muslim upbringing, which has the potential to turn a faithful and a renegade alike into a fidayeen. Also, apart from delving into the ironies of the faiths that affected the fate of the peoples, eclipsed the cultures of communes, altered the course of history and afflict the ...
