10/10

The author does a wonderful job at trying to tie down the wild falcon that is the subject. Iqbal's thoughts which often appear contradictory are sifted through and are not only presented clearly but the author also manages to trace their roots through Iqbal's changing thoughts and the myriad influences working on his inspired mind. An absolute must read for anyone interested in the strange bard whose tunes carved out a nation and continue to shape the path humanity trudges along.
