Hani Montan was born in
Iraq in 1939 and is an Australian citizen since 1973. He is married and has two
daughters and one granddaughter. In 1966 Montan earned a Master of Science
degree in civil and industrial engineering. He has travelled extensively, studying
and working in Iraq, Russia, Algeria, and Australia. To keep abreast of social,
managerial, and technical developments, he has studied many subjects, including
project management, public relations, environmental protection, political and
social sciences, psychology, human relations, business administration, and
philosophy. Montan worked at Sydney Water as a project engineer and group
leader and owned and managed a retail business. It's his engineering instinct,
however, that embodies the power of observation and gives him the capacity to
come to logical conclusions and offer simplified solutions to many problems.
Furthermore, the experience he has gained from working with and managing people
over many years and his long-standing interest in politics and social studies
have given him the motivation to write about many different subjects that might
be useful to many readers. His latest book is Summary Articles: Political
Science in Today's World (2020). His other books Imperialism and Terrorism:
Dissertation (2018), Thorny Opinion (2008), Dads Gags (2009), Israel vs.
America vs. the World (2011), Death by Choice versus Religious Dogma (2012),
Psyche and Personality (2013), Voice of Reason: In 7 Essays (2015), and Axis of
Evil: Imperialism - Religion - Nationalism (2016-updated 2018)—are available
from Amazon.com and other retailers in both paperback and eBook formats.
Besides his humorous book, Dads Gags, these are nonfiction books that deal with
society, politics, religion, euthanasia, psychology, international relations,
and other issues, such as climate change, the deficiency of school education,
and family relationships. In his previous book Imperialism and Terrorism:
Dissertation (2018), he advocates for moderation in human and international
relations—an advocacy that is based on "give and take" and "live
and let live" principles rather than the prevailing
"winner-takes-all" approach. The security and the future of the
following generations are threatened from the current conflicted world,
especially from the rise of various far-right movements and religious fanatics.
The world is also threatened from protectionism, nationalism, xenophobia,
excessive greed, and ideological extremism. All of us need to confront these
threats before it is too late. In his book Summary Articles: Political Science
in Today's World (2020), he takes a major step in simplifying political science
for the general reader to see the world in reality rather than the way it
represented by the distorted perspective of propaganda of the powerful and the
vested interests.
