Krátky popis
The story of the medieval world’s most extraordinary organisations,
the Assassins and the TemplarsThe Assassins and the Templars are
two of history’s most legendary groups. One was a Shi’ite religious
sect, the other a Christian military order created to defend the
Holy Land. Violently opposed, they had vastly different
reputations, followings, and ambitions. Yet they developed
strikingly similar strategies—and their intertwined stories have,
oddly enough, uncanny parallels.In this engaging account, Steve
Tibble traces the history of these two groups from their origins to
their ultimate destruction. He shows how, outnumbered and
surrounded, they survived only by perfecting “the promise of
death,” either in the form of a Templar charge or an Assassin’s
dagger. Death, for themselves or their enemies, was at the core of
these extraordinary organisations.Their fanaticism changed the
medieval world—and, even up to the present day, in video games and
countless conspiracy theories, they have become endlessly conjoined
in myth and memory.
