Résumé
In a land of collapsing empires and rising ideologies, one man carved his legacy into the face of a mountain-and into the memory of the world. The Shadow of Alamut: Myths and Truths of Hassan Sabbah is a sweeping historical biography of the enigmatic mastermind who founded the Nizari Ismaili state in the 11th century. From the ancient city of Ray to the legendary fortress of Alamut, Hassan Sabbah's story is one of ideological rebellion, spiritual devotion, political genius, and psychological warfare.
Hassan Sabbah's movement-misunderstood, mythologized, and feared-birthed the Order of Assassins, whose name would be etched in legend and misinterpretation for centuries. While Western chroniclers crafted tales of hashish-laced gardens and mindless killers, the reality was a disciplined, literate, and sophisticated underground network that resisted dominant powers from Cairo to Baghdad to the Seljuq palaces of Persia.
This book peels back the layers of history, reconstructing the world of the Assassin Imam through documented events, disputed accounts, and enduring folklore. What emerges is a gripping narrative of a revolutionary who weaponized belief, built an empire of ideas, and engineered a doctrine that continues to resonate in discussions of extremism, loyalty, and resistance today. Explore the siege-proof citadel of Alamut, the bloody corridors of Seljuq politics, the sacred halls of Fatimid Cairo, and the secret rituals of the fedayeen.
Walk beside Sabbah through betrayals, schisms, victories, and philosophical transformations. Perfect for readers of Islamic history, political intrigue, religious studies, and fans of stories like The Secret History, The Assassin's Creed, and The Crusades, this work invites you to rethink not just what you know about Hassan Sabbah-but how history itself is written. A masterwork of scholarship and storytelling, The Shadow of Alamut is your gateway into a world where nothing is true, and everything is permitted.
