From the bestselling author of ” Al-Qaeda”, Jason Burke`s ” On the Road to Kandahar” reveals the true face of Islam in an age of global conflict. In the summer of 1991 Jason Burke set off to join Kurdish guerillas fighting in Iraq. It was the start of a remarkable journey that would take him from the sands of the Sahara to the highest peaks of the Himalayas, revealing the true complexity & variety of the ` Islamic world`. Describing encounters with hundreds of people ranging from destitute refugees to senior government ministers, from American snipers to hardened `mujahideen`, this extraordinary work of reportage is a vivid account of life & death, war & peace, bigotry & ignorance, hate & tolerance. ” Fast-paced.. .fascinating”. (” Sunday Times”). ”A personal odyssey shot through with vivid description & human sympathy”.

(” Metro”). Jason Burke is the South Asia correspondent for the ” Guardian”. He has reported around the world for both the ” Guardian” & the ” Observer”. He is the author of two other widely praised books, both published by Penguin: ” Al-Qaeda” & ” The 9/11 Wars”. He lives in New Delhi. ...
