The life of Imam Hasan (a.s) was both eventful and full of lessons, and yet the significance of his role seems to have been ignored, forgotten, or eclipsed by the extene of focus on Imam Husain (a.s). Why has history ignored the role of that Imam in whose adoration forty thousand people unanimously raised their hands to pledge allegiance, and the outside of whose house was continually overflowing with people? This book very nicely redresses that balance by displaying the brilliance of Imam Hasan's leadership, the farsghtedness of his thinking, and his iron-like resolve in serving Allah swt.
