The Shell and the Pearl
From Bahaipedia
In 1891 in Yazd seven Bahá’ís met a martyr's death. In this essay Roger White has written a scholarly and moving account of the martyrdom of the youthful 'Alí-Asghar, one of the seven. Drawing on previously unpublished documents, the author evokes 'Alí-Asghar's spirit of self-sacrifice and the poignancy of his extreme youth as well as the dramatic events that followed his martyrdom.
O 'Times' . . . Spend an hour with the oppressed of Iran and witness how the exemplars of justice and equity are sorely tried beneath the sword of tyrants. Infants have been deprived of milk, and women and children have fallen captive to the lawless. The blood of God's lovers hath dyed the earth red . . .
