Known in the West as a "noble heathen," the great Muslim sultan
Saladin led Muslim forces in the reconquest of the Crusader
kingdoms and captured Jerusalem in 1187. This concise history
traces Saladin's role in the contest between Islam and Christianity
during the twelfth century.
Following the Sultan's life from the rise of the Crusader states
through his triumph over the Franks to the Third Crusade, M?hring
elucidates the sultan's accomplishments in uniting much of the
Middle East, his enlightened relationship with European opponents,
and the unique legacy of his rule in the Middle East and
beyond.
This faithful English-language translation also includes an
introduction that places Saladinin his geographic, political, and
cultural context.
