Through his book The Victors, Ayatollah Chamseddine provides a critical study of the individuals who came to support Imam Hussain in his movement against the Umayyad regime of Yazid ibn Muawiya in 680 AD. This work sheds light on who those individuals were, their backgrounds, as well as a look into the discrepancies found in history’s account of the quantity and traits of Hussain’s supporters. Ayatollah Chamseddine’s initial intent with this work was to provide an appendix for his book, Hussain’s Revolution; however, given the length and significance of this particular study, he decided to publish an entirely separate book dedicated to the victors of Hussain.

Book Description: "The Battle of Karbala took place on Muharram 10, 61 AH (October 9 or 10, 680 CE) in Karbala, in present day Iraq. On one side were supporters and relatives of Muhammad's grandson Husayn ibn Ali; on the other side was a military detachment from the forces of Yazid I, the Umayyad caliph.Husayn ibn Ali's group consisted of notable members of Muhammad's close relatives, around 72 men and women, of which some were either very old or very young. Husayn and some members of his group were accompanied by some of the women and children from their families. On the opposite side, the armed forces of Yazid I were led by Umar ibn Sa'ad and contained at least 40,000 men.The battle field was a desert region located beside one of the branches of the Euphrates River. The battle resulted in the military defeat of Husayn ibn Ali's group, the death of almost all of his men, and the captivity of all women and children.The Battle of Karbala is one of the most significant battles in the history of Muslims.This battle also had significant effects on formation of subsequent revolts against the Umayyad dynasty.The battle of Husayn ibn Ali is commemorated during an annual 10-day period held every Muharram, culminating on its tenth day, Ashura."

«Je l'ai entendu comme un appel de l'au-delà : "Va, retourne à la rue Darwin." J'en ai eu la chair de poule. Jamais, au grand jamais, je n'avais envisagé une seule seconde de retourner un jour dans cette pauvre ruelle où s'était déroulée mon enfance.» Après la mort de sa mère, Yazid, le narrateur, décide de retourner rue Darwin dans le quartier Belcourt, à Alger. «Le temps de déterrer les morts et de les regarder en face» est venu. Une figure domine cette histoire : celle de Lalla Sadia, dite Djéda, toute-puissante grand-mère installée dans son fief villageois, dont la fortune immense s'est bâtie à partir du florissant bordel jouxtant la maison familiale. C'est là que Yazid a été élevé, avant de partir pour Alger. L'histoire de cette famille hors norme traverse la grande histoire tourmentée de l'Algérie, des années cinquante à aujourd'hui. Encore une fois, Boualem Sansal nous emporte dans un récit truculent et rageur dont les héros sont les Algériens, déchirés entre leur patrie et une France avec qui les comptes n'ont toujours pas été soldés. Il parvient à introduire tendresse et humour jusque dans la description de la corruption, du grouillement de la misère, de la tristesse qui s'étend... Rue Darwin est le récit d'une douleur identitaire, génératrice du chaos politique et social dont l'Algérie peine à sortir.
