A young American physician Dr. Scott Fitzgerald from Pennsylvania sets out on a journey to fulfill his fathers dream by returning to Afghanistan where his father Bryan had spent nearly twenty years as the first American in that remote kingdom. Bryan had befriended Prince Akbar, the hero of First Anglo-Afghan, and won the hearts and minds of Afghans receiving a golden sword and the title of the American Prince. Like his father, Scott wanted to take the Declaration of Independence and the American Constitution to the farthest lands of the world. Following many adventures he joins Prince Ayoub, the hero of the Second Afghan War. Scott travels from Philadelphia across Europe, Russia, Afghanistan, India to the Far East. He returns with lessons learned and truths he discovered and writes them in this book to reach the present and future generations. He regards the American Republic as an indestructible fortress of freedom and democracy that all extremes of left and right factions are inevitably drawn back into the fortress of 'Immortal Ideas'', built by their forefathers with their genius, their fortunes and their lives. Scott believes, as Americans we have never claimed to convert or to rule the world. We just want for others to have the same inalienable rights of life, liberty and pursuit of their own happinesss. Scott quotes a great American, The Constitution of the United States is the impassioned and inspired vehicle by which we travel through history. It grew out of the deepest inspiration of our existence that we are here to serve Him by living free. That living free, releases in us the noble impulses and our best abilities so that we use these precious gifts for good and generous purposes and that we will secure them not just only for ourselves and our children but for all mankind.

After arrival, I visited museums and monuments in Washington D.C. I had a peak-experience reading Thomas Jefferson’s writing in the dome of the monument, “I have sworn upon the alter of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” Ever since, my faith in democracy has become unshakable. I dedicate this book to the people of America to relit the torch of democracy for its revival and survival. In the course of history, humanity has struggled to survive, to live with less threats, exercising its free will for comfort and safety. The book is based on all sources of knowledge to find out the probability of victory of constructive forces for peace vs. destructive forces, to allow the realization of World Peace. Professor Audrey Cronin discovered the criteria of permanent neutrality’s success for Switzerland. Comparing it with Afghanistan, she found that there is a good probability for Afghanistan to become a permanently neutral (PN) nation. The author extended the same logic for achieving sustainable World Peace. Of 193 member-states of United Nation 170 meek nations demanding PN, eventually others finding it to their interest also, would guarantee their right for permanent neutrality by the Security Council of the United Nations.

In 1967, seven Muslim physicians arrived in the United States from various countriesIndia, Pakistan, Syria, Egypt, and Afghanistanfor advanced training. They found themselves in a new culture with few Muslims around. They formed an organization where they shared common concerns, supported each other, and maintained their identity, faith, and culture. Thus began the journey of the Islamic Medical Association (IMA). Serving Faith, Profession, and Community, by author Faroque Ahmad Khan, captures the essence of that journey, including how this was accomplished, what some of the challenges were, and who the key individuals involved in organizing and laying the foundation of IMA (now called the Islamic Medical Association of North America (IMANA)) were. Describing the major contributions American Muslim physicians have made toward the health and well-being of Americans, Serving Faith, Profession, and Community chronicles the organizations first fifty years and sets goals and plans for the future.

Heroines in History: A Thousand Faces moves beyond stories of individual heroines, taking a thematic, synthesising and global in scope approach to challenge previous understandings of heroines in history. Responding to Joseph Campbell’s Hero with a Thousand Faces, Katie Pickles explores the idea of a transcultural heroine archetype that recurs through time. Each chapter addresses an archetypal theme important for heroines in history. The volume offers a new consideration of the often-awkward position of women in history and embeds heroines in the context of their times, as well as interpreting and analysing how their stories are told, re-told and represented at different moments. To do so it recovers and compares some women now forgotten, along with well-known recent heroines and brings together a diversity of women from around the world. Pickles looks at the interplay of gender, race, heredity status, class and politics in different ways and chronicles the emergence of heroines as historical subjects valued for their substance and achievements, rather than as objects valued for their image and celebrity. In an accessible and original way, the book builds upon developments in women’s and gender history and is essential reading for anyone interested in this field.

For over 2,500 years, the forbidding territory of Afghanistan has served as a vital crossroads for armies and has witnessed history-shaping clashes between civilizations: Greek, Arab, Mongol, and Tartar, and, in more recent times, British, Russian, and American. When U.S. troops entered Afghanistan in the weeks following September 11, 2001, they overthrew the Afghan Taliban regime and sent the terrorists it harbored on the run. But America's initial easy victory is in sharp contrast to the difficulties it faces today in confronting the Taliban resurgence. Originally published in 2002, Stephen Tanner's Afghanistan has now been completely updated to include the crucial turn of events since America first entered the country.

*Uses Afghanistan as a case-study that can be applied internationally *Contributors have direct political and human rights experience in the field The prevailing wisdom about post-conflict reconstruction is centered on the notion of nation-building. In the globalized post-September 11th world, can military might and technological solutions foster stability by enforcing democracy from the outside? Written by key practitioners and analysts involved in the Afghan crisis, Nation-Building Unraveled? explains how emerging international ordering practices affect the role and policy of international actors, such as United Nations agencies and international NGOs, their interaction with national authorities and local communities, and their ability to generate just and social outcomes.
