About the author:
Hugh Fincher , the son of a minister, is a World War II veteran and former U.S.A. I.D. Foreign Service officer who lived for many years in India, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. He became close friends with Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists, visited their temples, read their Holy Scriptures and discussed their beliefs with them. As a result, he compared the messages of Buddha and Christ and found them to be so similar as to be called identical for all practical purposes.
A note from the publisher: In 1997, I was just starting out in book publishing when an elderly gentleman came to my office with his photocopied, cut-and-pasted book, typed on a typewriter. Hugh Fincher was a gentle man, but he was also a passionate man. Passionate about peace, justice, compassion. He had a world view that came from the years prior to the Vietnam War and watching, first hand, the U.S. government's policies in action in Vietnam and Laos. In his last years he tried tirelessly to get the word out about US government expenditures for defense and war, in light of other priorities. He believe in the power of one individual to change things, to be a voice for others less fortunate, to motivate citizens to think before they vote and to hold their leaders accountable.
Hugh Fincher passed away in 2007, and the South Florida Peace Cooalition recognized him in a special memorial service. I feel honored to have known him for a brief time, to have worked with him on three of his books, and to continue to make The Drum of Immortality available to those interested in hearing what this dedicated, peace-loving man had to say. He left the rights to his book to Lucky Press, so that the message of compassion could continue.--Janice Phelps Williams, publisher
