John Kiser
John Kiser is the author of five books, all of a rather contrarian flavor, including Communist Entrepreneurs: Unknown Innovators, The Monks of Tibhirine: Faith Love and Terror in Algeria, and most recently, Commander of the Faithful: A Story of True Jihad. Commander is an account of the life of Emir Abd el-Kader, a warrior, statesman, scholar who combined deep religious faith with chivalrous humanism and intellectual openness, which made him a hero in both the East and West. It is the third book of an Abrahamic trilogy that began unwittingly with Stefan Zweig: Death of a Modern Man. John Kiser is a former international technology broker. He has an M.A. from Columbia University in European History and an MBA from the University of Chicago. He lives in Virginia with his family.
