Saladin Hero of Islam Author:Geoffrey Hindley Language:English Format:Softcover Dimensions:6" x 9" Pages:224 Photos:20 illustrations Publisher:Pen and Sword Military ISBN:978184884 2038 Item No. 9781848842038 The extraordinary character and career of Saladin are the keys to understanding the Battle of Hattin, the fall of Jerusalem and the failure of the Third Crusade. He united warring Muslim lands, reconquered the bulk of Crusader states and faced the Richard the Lion Heart, king of England, in one of the most famous confrontations in medieval warfare. Geoffrey Hindley's sympathetic and highly readable study of the life and times of this remarkable, many-sided man, who dominated the Middle East in his day, gives a fascinating insight into his achievements and into the Muslim world of his contemporaries.
