Hasan-i Sabbah: Lord of the Assassins

James Wasserman takes readers on a breathtaking journey from the first dawns of human civilization to the storm that unfolded millennia later — the birth of the formidable assassins. Wasserman generously sheds light on the myths, mysteries, life, and teachings of the semi-mythical master of the assassins, Hasan-i Sabbah; he shows how these tendencies continue to resonate through the ages and give rise to turmoil in the region of the Fertile Crescent to this day.
The book "Hasan-i Sabbah: Lord of the Assassins" includes the first English translation of the biography of Hasan-i Sabbah "The Life Story of Our Master" (Sarguzasht-i-Sayyidna), written by Rashid al-Din in 1310 (from the author of the bestseller "Templars and Assassins").
