For nearly 150 years the secret society of the Assassins used subterfuge, intimidation, and assassination to control the Middle East from Syria to Persia. This vast reign of terror reached its zenith in the eary 12th century. By 1256 the Assassins had disappeared without a trace. This is the account of the 1960 British expedition to the Alamut Valley in north Iran, to search for the remains of the Assassins castles.
