Charles Le Gai Eaton was born in Switzerland and educated at Charterhouse and King's College, Cambridge.

For more than twenty years, he was consultant to the Islamic Cultural Centre in London.
'This marvellous book... abounds with penetrating insights... The
most remarkable quality of the book however is its courage.'
'This is a book of the utmost importance to anyone concerned...
with the really basic questions of human life.'
'This is an urgent piece of writing, a reading of what we are and
where we are.'
'Reading this book enormously influenced me. There are two reasons
for this. One was that what the man said was so obviously right.
The other was that Eaton is, as Cobbett was, a master of the
English language. His writing is direct, elegant, but most of all
devastatingly persuasive.'
*John Seymour*
'There is useful reading here for Christians... who come into
contact with Muslims.'
*Church Times*
How much sharper is his call for ecological respect than our
current pragmatic codes of conservation.
