Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I should be dead. Buried in an unmarked grave in Romania. Obviously, I am not. God had other plans." At just under five feet tall, Virginia Prodan was no match for the towering 6' 10" gun-wielding assassin the Romanian government sent to her office to take her life. It was not the first time her life had been threatened--nor would it be the last. As a young attorney under Nicolae Ceausescu's brutal communist regime, Virginia had spent her entire life searching for the truth. When she finally found it in the pages of the most forbidden book in all of Romania, Virginia accepted the divine call to defend fellow followers of Christ against unjust persecution in an otherwise ungodly land. For this act of treason, she was kidnapped, beaten, tortured, placed under house arrest, and came within seconds of being executed under the orders of Ceausescu himself. How Virginia not only managed to elude her enemies time and again, but how she also helped expose the appalling secret that would ultimately lead to the demise of Ceausescu's evil empire is one of the most extraordinary stories ever told. A must-read for all generations, Saving My Assassin is the unforgettable account of one woman's search for truth, her defiance in the face of evil, and a surprise encounter that proves without a shadow of a doubt that nothing is impossible with God.

Download or read book The Assassins written by Bernard Lewis and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2008-08-05 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a master historian, the definitive account of history's first terrorists An offshoot of the Ismaili Shi'ite sect of Islam, the Assassins were the first group to make systematic use of murder as a political weapon. Established in Iran and Syria in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, they aimed to overthrow the existing Sunni order in Islam and replace it with their own. They terrorized their foes with a series of dramatic murders of Islamic leaders, as well as of some of the Crusaders, who brought their name and fame back to Europe. Professor Lewis traces the history of this radical group, studying its teachings and its influence on Muslim thought. Particularly insightful in light of the rise of the terrorist attacks in the U.S. and in Israel, this account of the Assassins -- whose name is now synonymous with politically motivated murderers -- places recent events in historical perspective and sheds new light on the fanatic mind.

Book excerpt: Prepare to be captivated by the extraordinary tale of Hassan-i Sabbah, one of the most enigmatic and controversial figures in Islamic history. Born in the 11th century in the Persian city of Qom, Hassan-i Sabbah's life was a tapestry woven with threads of religious fervor, political intrigue, and strategic brilliance. As the founder of the Nizari Ismaili state and the legendary order of the Assassins, Hassan-i Sabbah left an indelible mark on the medieval Islamic world. From his impregnable fortress at Alamut, he challenged the might of the Seljuk Empire and the Abbasid Caliphate, defying their power with a combination of military prowess, covert operations, and ideological zeal. But Hassan-i Sabbah was more than just a master strategist and political operator. He was also a man of deep learning and piety, steeped in the esoteric teachings of Ismaili Shia Islam. His vision of a just and equitable society, guided by the wisdom of the Imam, inspired a devoted following that would endure for centuries after his death. In this meticulously researched and richly narrated biography, we delve into the complex and often contradictory world of Hassan-i Sabbah, exploring the many facets of his character and the profound impact of his legacy. From his early years as a promising scholar in Qom to his fateful encounter with the Ismaili da'i in Egypt, and from his audacious seizure of Alamut to his final days as the revered Old Man of the Mountain, we trace the remarkable journey of a man who shaped the course of history. Through a vivid and engaging narrative, we explore the social, political, and religious landscape of the 11th and 12th centuries, a time of great upheaval and transformation in the Islamic world. We meet the many remarkable figures who played a role in Hassan-i Sabbah's story, from his arch-nemesis Nizam al-Mulk to his devoted lieutenant Kiya Buzurg-Ummid, and from the Seljuk sultans and Abbasid caliphs to the Crusader knights and Byzantine emperors.

Neither a saint nor a devil, but a complex and fascinating human being, Hassan-i Sabbah emerges from these pages as a figure of enduring relevance and power, a man whose ideas and actions continue to resonate across the centuries. Whether you are a student of Islamic history, a lover of gripping historical narratives, or simply someone who is fascinated by the great personalities and events that have shaped our world, this book is sure to inform, entertain, and inspire.
