The Afghan Prince and I

The First American In Afghanistan, A Historical Novel

By: B. A. Zikria

In the First Anglo-Afghan War of 1839 to 1842, considered the most infamous of all colonial wars, only Dr. Brydon survived out of a 13,000 to 20,000 Kabul army of the British Raj. William Dalrymple, a contemporary English historian writing in his 2013 book Return of a King, points out a number of parallel facts about that war and the present situation in which NATO and American forces are engaged. The British "Army of Sind" replaced King Dost with Shah Shuja, who lived in exile in India for twenty years under British protection. The regime change by the British was successful with the two Afghan kings interchanging residences. Dalrymple states, "Shah Shuja and President Karzai share the same tribal heritage; the Shah's principal opponents were the Ghilzai tribes, who today make up the bulk of the Taliban foot soldiers; the same cities garrisoned by British troops are today garrisoned by foreign troops, attacked from the same rings of hills and high passes from which the British faced attacks." After two years as renegades, Prince Dost's twenty-three-year-old son Prince Akbar along his comrade Fitzgerald from Pennsylvania, who was the first American in that land, return to fight the British Army of occupation. The Irish-American Fitzgerald mournfully relates the inhumane events of that war and his own adventures in becoming an Afghan prince.

Wars Without End: a New Mechanism for World Peace

Role of Covid-19 in 2020S

By: B.A. Zikria MD FACS

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.

Malalai Joan of Arc of Afghanistan and the Victors of Maiwand

The Second Anglo-Afghan War 1878-1882

By: B.A. Zikria

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.

Manual of Burns

By: W.S. McDougal,C.L. Slade,B.A.Jr. Pruitt

This manual is intended as a comprehensive guide to the diagno sis and management of the burn patient. The author:s feel that this volume can serve as a practical reference for the wide range of physi cian and allied health personnel involved in the care of these critically ill patients. The Manual of Burns was planned and written by the authors when they were on staff together at the United States Army Institute of Surgical Research, Brooke Army Medical Center, Fort Sam Houston, Texas. The authors support the concept that appropriate therapy of the burn patient requires a multidisciplinary approach. The talents of physi cians from many medical specialties, supported by nurses, therapists, and other allied health science personnel, must be coordinated if such a patient is to receive optimum care. Although the main thrust of this manual is directed at current techniques of diagnosis and treatment and therefore of primary inter est to the physician, the authors also hope that the photographic and illustrative material will make this book useful to any member perform ing service in a burn treatment unit.
