Description
This Osprey Command book looks closely at the early life, military experiences and key battlefield exploits of Al-Malik al-Nasir Yusuf Ibn Najm al-Din Ayyub Ibn Shahdi Abu'l-Muzaffar Salah al-Din or Saladin as he is more commonly known outside the Islamic world who is broadly regarded as the greatest hero of the Crusades, even in Europe.
Most chroniclers present him as a man of outstanding virtue, courage and political skill.
More recently, however, efforts have been made to portray Saladin as an ambitious, ruthless and even devious politician, and as a less brilliant commander than is normally thought.
This book sets out to reveal that the truth is, as usual, somewhere in between.
