I’m kind of new to Shi’ism, and while I’m convinced of the legitimacy of the Imams based of the Quran I know I need to know more about history. I’m looking for some in-depth secular books, but I would look to find any books by Islamic scholars on the times after the Prophet (s) death. Hoping if you had any recommendations
