By Yasin T. al-Jibouri
One day in history changed the course of the Islamic nation for all time to come. It deepened the differences between Islam's both main branches, the Sunni and the Shi'ite. It created states and undermined others. It had an impact which not many people in any place or time can truly fathom. That date is: October 14, 680 A.D. when the younger grandson of the Prophet of Islam, namely Hussain son of Ali ibn Abu Talib, was martyred together with all males of his family, with the exception of his ailing son Ali, and of his few supporters who stood with him to the end. This date is referred to as Ashura, the tenth of Muharram, which has been commemorated since that year and will continue to be commemorated till the end of time. This book details the events, social and political, that led to the martyrdom of Hussain son of Ali and its aftermath as well as the biographies of nine descendants of Hussain who are referred to by Shi'ite Muslims as the Infallible Imams. This book is full of history and, for the sympathetic reader, it is full of admonishment. It is a tale of heroism unmatched in the entire history of mankind.

The Libyan revolution has been extensively covered by the international news media since its inception to the toppling of Qadhafi’s regime. But how did the regime’s media react to events? Karen Dabrowska was the London correspondent of the official Libyan news agency, JANA, and was in the eye of the storm monitoring the media and covering events in London. Perhaps the only Westerner working in a Libyan government institution she kept a diary from the start of NATO’s bombing campaign until the ousting of Qadhafi's regime. The diary describes what is was like working for the Libyans, the office politics, the mentality of the officials and the articles she wrote. The era of government news agencies may be coming to an end. This book provides a unique perspective on the Libyan revolution.

Since a number of different nationalities are involved in this story, it would be wise to read. This novel could happen in one part of the world only. When I first looked into the manuscript for Yoash I was amazed at the scope and depth of the plot interwoven with the rich tapestry of events in the World War I era in the Middle East, the time of Lawrence of Arabia. Farajolah Sayachi, an Iranian writer of Hebrew heritage living in the US, has populated this world with memorable characters from a vast tableau – India to Arabia, Turkey, and Persia to Britain in its imperial glory. While about 20 of our books have been optioned for film and three have provided stories for feature films, Yoash stands apart. I am sure you will be delighted to read this book.
