-Prophets of
Violence, Prophets of Peace" is a novel approach to understanding
the history of the recent past and the psychology of leaders who
made history. This book is based upon analyses of lives of leaders
from Gandhi to Mandela. It provides an insight not only into the
personalities of the individual leaders but also into the wide range
of struggle methodology Mahatma Gandhi on one hand chose the
spiritual approach and Che Guevara on the other believed in armed
struggle and died in the field for his cause. The subject matter has
been chosen carefully to describe the spectrum in which the struggle
could be carried out.
Dr. Sohail portrays mass psychology and provides many examples
chosen over a wide range of time. Thus it becomes important reading
for students of politics and for aspiring leaders.
Prophets is a successful attempt to systematically dissect the
personalities of great leaders, an insight into history and social
perspective and a discussion of how extraordinary circumstances
transformed those leaders.
This book will appeal to a wide readership because of the timely
nature of its subject combined with ease of reading. I commend Dr.
Sohail for writing with such clarity and consistency of approach.
