Descriere

This dramatic and sinister story of some of the most sinister characters in medieval history is expertly written with pace and skill. There is no other general history of the Assassins in print, and this new book shows that the real Assassins were every bit as interesting as the 'Assassins' of legend. Bartlett's study reveals how the Assassin myths have developed over time, and how these myths continue to have an impact on the popular imagination.
