| Abstract
|
:
|
In 680 CE, the prophet Muhammad's grandson, Husain, led a small band of followers in rebellion against the caliph, Yazid. Husain & his followers were slain at Karbala leading to the split between Sunni & Shiite Muslims. This book traces the development of the story from the earliest historical sources to the beginning of the 21st century.
