This book presents a biography of Abdus Salam, the first Muslim to
win a Nobel Prize for Science (Physics 1979), who was nevertheless
excommunicated and branded as a heretic in his own country. His
achievements are often overlooked, even besmirched. Realizing that
the whole world had to be his stage, he pioneered the International
Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, a vital focus of Third
World science which remains as his monument. A staunch Muslim, he
was ashamed of the decline of science in the heritage of Islam, and
struggled doggedly to restore it to its former glory. Undermined by
his excommunication, these valiant efforts were doomed.
