In the book of James Wasserman, two military-religious organizations are compared: the Order of the Templars and the Order of the Assassins. For all the seemingly incomparable incomparability of these orders, the author manages to show how much they have in common. The mysterious order of the Temple, accused of hereticism and who died under the blows of the Inquisition, borrowed a lot from his Muslim brothers in spirit - the Assassins. Tracing the history of both orders, James Wasserman takes us through a maze of facts and legends, allowing everyone to decide for themselves what is fact and what is legend.
