The Victors of Imam Hussain

As far as I can tell, this is the first title in the English language, that treats the historicity of and the companionship of those who accompanied Imam al-Husayn (AS). Whats unique is the ample references that connect these victors to Imam Husayn. There is little commentary by way of historicity and also ethics, running into 275 pagesWhat is important to recognize of this work, is that classification of who was with Imam Husayn (AS), the Elite, the Arabs and Mawali, Northern and Southern Arabs, Hashimites and Abbasids, Youth and elders, Kufa Basra and Hijaz. This is brilliant meta-historyS.V AHmed Ali, had also written a work on Karbala where he lists the "72" Companions but it is short in its offeringThorough in its historical references

Well written very detailed and literary work.

Great book-- Great to read following Hussain's Revolution
