History of Karbala

Found these two online books on the history of Karbala, from http://almiskeenah.com/, written from a Sunni perspective. They are free to read.

History of Karbala by Abu Ammar

I must note that in History of Karbala by Abu Ammar, Mukthar Bin Abi Ubaid Sakfee is presented as a liar and misguided individual. I have heard Shaykh Ninowy in one of his lectures claim that Mukthar has been painted unfairly in history.

Tragedy of Karbala by Shaykh Abu Anees Muhammad Barkat Ali

From what I have read so far, I think the narration in this book is much more eloquent.

Insh'Allah I plan on posting information about the batttle that took place in Makkah between the people of Makkah and Yazid's minions.
