By Mr. Kiser's own evidence, Muslims in general are not at war with the West in general, or Christianity in particular... What he does quite well is tell the story, at once sad and inspiring, of very good men who took their vocation seriously and died for it.
Pulitzer Prize winner William W. Warner calls John Kiser's newest book, The Monks of Tibhirine, "...a must read shocker for those unaware of recent Algerian history. ...beautifully written."
Kiser reconstructs patiently and impartially the sad story of an Algeria in which spirituality and violence, peace and war, great hopes and great contradictions are skillfully interwoven. The book is a testimony to the living pain of a country in search of an identity.
