                Addressing
 a theme central to Islamic History and Culture. The author writes about
 the shahdat of Husayn in the Battle of Karbala (10 October 680) an event 
that has had the most pervasive and lasting effect on all facets of 
Islamic Civilization. After narrating the core historical events from 
the death of Hasan bin 'Ali to the death of Mus'ab bin Zubayr based on 
the earliest surviving accounts, the author devotes two chapters to "The
 Primary Sources" and "The Critical Sources" which scrutinize both early
 Muslim and Christian accounts. The succeeding chapters cover cultural 
aspects inspired by Husayn: Ideology and Literature, Doctrine and 
Ritual, Architecture and Art. By preferring death to dishonor, Husayn 
taught that the means justified the end. For this reason, the devotees 
of Husayn have become the most frequent targets of terrorists. This new 
edition has been enlarged upon.
