The Life of Saladin

Select Condition 
Book Overview
Saladin, the Kurdish founder of the Ayyubid Dynasty, conquered Jerusalem in 1187 and repelled the Crusaders. Though England's Richard I later defeated him, Saladin's legend has become enshrined in European as well as Middle Eastern lore. Sir Hamilton Gibb produced this short biographical account by drawing from two chronicles written by well-placed contemporaries of the fabled leader. Meticulously annotated, Gibb's classic is an essential reference for historians as well as an excellent introduction to a fascinating historical figure.

Good Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The book is relatively short but its concise and to the point. It gives a pretty decent background to Saladin's life and if read in conjunction with Baha-al Din's Biography if Saladin its even better. I used both books for a research paper and they helped quite a lot.
