| Synopsis: |
Saladin is a legendary figure in the history of the Middle East. Saladin's rise to fame in the tumultuous arena of twelfth-century Middle Eastern politics was rapid and he quickly established himself as a military commander of genius, a man of honour and an intrepid statesman. This is the classic detailed biography of Saladin, and history of his life and times, was written by the eminent historian Stanley Lane-Poole. The author, able to access the rich and colourful chronicles of Arab and Moslem historians, provides us with a brilliant insight into the life and deeds of this warrior-monarch. Based on a lifetime of study, Saladin and the Fall of Jerusalem examines Saladin's youth, his military experiences, his conquest of Egypt and Syria, the Holy War against the crusaders and, crucially, Saladin's duel with the chivalric Richard the Lionheart. For this new edition David Nicolle has provided a new Introduction and new illustrations complement this classic work. |
