In 'Hart and the Empire', officer George Hart, after his intervention in the Zulu wars, faces a new mission in Afghanistan. British secret services have discovered a plan by Islamic fundamentalism that puts British interests in India at risk. Hart must steal the Prophet's Cloak, an important symbol of Islam, and will face a dilemma between his conscience and loyalty to the Crown.
Saul David, a renowned historian, uses this adventure novel to reflect on the relations between cultures and the current world situation, accurately describing the second Afghan war (1879) and evoking contemporary Afghan radical Islam.
Saul David Alinsky was an American community activist and political theorist. His work through the Chicago-based Industrial Areas Foundation helping poor communities organize to press demands upon landlords, politicians, bankers and business leaders won him national recognition and notoriety. Responding to the impatience of a New Left generation of activists in the 1960s, Alinsky – in his widely cited Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer (1971) – defended the arts both of confrontation and of compromise involved in community organizing as keys to the struggle for social justice.
