Review

Deputy Inspector-General Charles William Buchanan Hamilton of the British Royal Navy, upon reading this article in ‘The Islamic Review’ in 1929, wrote:

“I have read the article ‘Islam My Only Choice’ and have decided to join your faith.”

General Buchanan Hamilton came of a well-known Irish family, being the son of Canon John Hamilton of County Galway, cousin to the first Duke of Abercorn, and a nephew of James Buchanan who was at one time American Ambassador in London.
