Khalid Bin Al-Waleed: A Biography of one of the Greatest Military Generals in History

This book was published in tribute to Khalid Bin Al-Waleed, whom is believed to be "the greatest military general in history", and who campaigned in the Middle East about 630-650 C.E. The biography of Khalid came from Hafiz Ibn Kathir and Mohammad bin Ishaq. It was later revised by A.I. Akram. Lt. General A. I. Akram was a Pakistani army officer who taught at the Pakistani Staff College in 1964, and who later traveled to Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. Khalid Bin Al-Waleed was a commander in the service of prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the caliphs Abu Bakr (r. 632-634) and Umar (r. 634-644) who played a leading role in the Ridda wars against rebel tribes in Arabia in 632-633 and the conquests of Sasanian Iraq in 633-634 and Byzantine Syria in 634-638. Khalid was a horseman of the Quraysh tribe's aristocratic Makhzum clan, which ardently opposed the Prophet (peace be upon him). Later he was made a commander by the Prophet, who bestowed on him the title Sayf Allah (the Sword of God).

Khalid ibn Walid was also known as Sayf Allah al-Masl&#363;l (Drawn Sword of God), a companion of the Prophet and noted for his military tactics and prowess. It was under his military leadership that Arabia, for the first time in history, was united under a single political entity, the Caliphate. His strategic achievements include the conquest of Arabia, Persian Mesopotamia and Roman Syria. He is also remembered for his decisive victories at Yamamah, Ullais and Firaz, and his tactical successes at Walaja and Yarmouk.

Despite the intrinsically political nature of most sustainable development challenges facing the world today, most theories, deliberations, research and even implementation linking sustainability to development primarily follow apolitical and linear policy processes. Bringing together a range of subjects - from civil military relations, role of public and private sector in development, food and climate security, religious freedoms, and feminism after 9/11- this book Sustainable Development in South Asia: Shaping the Future uniquely examines the reasons why national governments, together with international aid agencies, have been unable to provide real and binding solutions to the myriad of problems standing in the way of emerging South Asia economies.
