The fighters for faith
The first book, due in July 2007, is Holy Warriors, based on interviews with Sikh, Muslim, Hindu and Christian fundamentalists. It will be followed by The Last Jews of Kerala, about a community in which only one man and one woman of child-bearing age – they are reported not to like each other –
survive. Philip Gwyn Jones bought the books through Ayesha Karim at Gillon Aitken. Penguin publishes in India.
