'Assassins' are one of the most spectacular legends of medieval history. In the popular imagination they are drug-crazed fanatics who launched murderous attacks on their enemies, terrorising the medieval world. This book traces the origins of the sect out of the schisms within the early Islamic religion and examines the impact of Hasan-i-Sabbah.
