About the Book
War is a Racket, and Culture is Blind: The True Cost of Conflict
Journey through a century of strife in this gripping dual-timeline novel with:
George Sher Gul: A Muslim cameleer fleeing early 20th Century Afghanistan, seeking hope in Australia's unforgiving outback. He navigates harsh landscapes and the prejudices of White Australia, with his dream of belonging hanging by a thread.
Patterson: An Australian soldier in post-9/11 Afghanistan, questioning the war's true motives amidst corruption and personal demons.
Their intertwined stories challenge our beliefs on war, peace, and humanity.
Experience heart-wrenching choices, cultural clashes across generations, and a quest for belonging spanning continents.
This thought-provoking historical fiction exposes deep-rooted xenophobia, drawing parallels between early 20th century Australia and today's complex geopolitical landscape.
Together, it offers a witty yet unflinching critique of global politics—questioning the cyclical nature of conflict.
From sun-baked Australian deserts to war-torn Afghan streets, immerse yourself in a powerful journey through time and culture.
Will George Sher Gul find his future in a land that views him as an outsider?
Can Patterson discover peace amidst chaos and national expectations?
Uncover these answers in a compelling tale of resilience, hope, and the enduring human spirit.
