An offshoot of the Ismaili Shi'ite sect of Islam, the Assassins, established in Iran and Syria in the 11th and 12th centuries, was the first group to make systematic use of murder as a political weapon. Lewis traces the history of this radical group, studying its teachings and its influence on Muslim thought. 8-page photo insert.
