In Europe the Mamluks of Egypt are remembered as so-called 'Slave
Kings' who drove out the Crusaders from the Holy Land; but they
were far more than that. Though its frontiers barely changed, the
Mamluk Sultanate remained a 'great power' for two and a half
centuries. Its armies were the culmination of a military tradition
stretching back to the 8th century, and provided a model for the
early Ottoman Empire, whose own armies reached the gates of Vienna
only twelve years after the Mamluks were overthrown. This absorbing
text by David Nicolle explores the organisation and tactics of
these fascinating people.
