Salman's tale provides insight into the political and religious history of Pakistan, which has recently dominated the news as political instability threatens to tear apart an Islamic nation armed with nuclear weapons and teeming with Al-Qaeda sympathizers. But, more importantly, it provides a glimpse into the life of a unique man who personally serves as a bridge of civilizations at a time when many fear that Islam and the West are doomed to clash eternally. And it serves to show how music and art can be a powerful force to end cultural conflicts and bring humanity together.* A FINE text copy of the 1st/1st fnl. with some minimal age and wear in a FINE protected dust jacket.*
