"The Báb: The Herald of the Day of Days" by H. M. Balyuzi is a late 20th-century historical narrative about the life of Siyyid `Alí-Muḥammad, the Báb, a key figure in the Baháʼí Faith. It starts with historical events, such as the independence of the American colonies and the French Revolution, to set the scene. The story follows truth-seekers, led by Siyyid Káẓim, on a search for the "Lord of the Age", eventually leading them to Mullá Ḥusayn and then to the Báb in Shíráz. The book explores the challenges, the society during that period, and the declaration of the Báb, as well as the impact on his growing number of followers. It establishes the urgency and socio-political situation necessary to comprehend the later life and instructions of the Báb.
