Book excerpt: Delve into the captivating life of Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub, widely known as Saladin, in this comprehensive biography that unravels the extraordinary tale of his journey from a Kurdish upbringing to becoming the formidable founder of the Ayyubid dynasty. Born around 1137, Saladin emerged as the first sultan to rule both Egypt and Syria, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of the medieval Islamic world. A key protagonist in the Third Crusade, Saladin led the Muslim forces against the Crusader states in the Levant, showcasing his military prowess and strategic brilliance. From his early days alongside his uncle Shirkuh in Fatimid Egypt to his pivotal role in the power struggles within the Fatimid government, Saladin's ascent was marked by triumphs over Crusader assaults and intricate political maneuvering. The narrative unfolds with Saladin's consolidation of power, the abolition of the Fatimid Caliphate, and the alignment of Egypt with the Sunni Abbasid Caliphate. His conquests in Syria, marked by victories and challenges, culminated in the proclamation as the 'Sultan of Egypt and Syria.' The book explores Saladin's relentless campaigns against the Crusaders, the successful conquest of Yemen, and his return to Egypt to quell rebellions. The pinnacle of Saladin's legacy is vividly depicted in the retelling of the Battle of Hattin in 1187, a pivotal moment that led to the capture of Jerusalem and the restoration of Muslim dominance in the Levant. Despite the continued existence of the Crusaders' Kingdom of Jerusalem, Saladin's triumph marked a significant shift in the balance of power. Saladin's life is portrayed with depth and nuance, from his peaceful entry into Damascus to his encounters with the Assassins and the challenges faced in Syria and Mesopotamia. His commitment to justice, strategic brilliance, and political acumen are illuminated throughout, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of this iconic historical figure. The biography concludes with Saladin's passing in 1193, leaving behind a legacy that transcends time. As a figure revered not only in Muslim culture but also in Kurdish, Turkic, and Arab traditions, Saladin's life is a testament to the enduring impact of his rule. This book weaves together historical accounts, military exploits, and political intricacies, offering readers a compelling journey through the life of one of the most celebrated figures in medieval history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon the death of Saladin in 1193, his vast empire, stretching from the Yemen to the upper reaches of the Tigris, fell into the hands of his Ayyubid kinsmen. These latter parceled his domains into a number of autonomous principalities, though some common identity was maintained by linking these petty states into a loose confederation, in which each local prince owed allegiance to the senior member of the Ayyubid house. Such an arrangement was, of course, highly unstable, and at first glance Ayyubid history appears to be no more than a succession of unedifying squabbles among countless rival princelings, until at last the family's hegemony was extinguished by two events: 1) a coup d'état staged by the palace guard in Egypt in 1250, and 2) the Mongol occupation of Syria, brief but destructive, in 1260. But appearances to the contrary, the obscure quarrels of Saladin's heirs embodied a political revolution of highest importance in Syro-Egyptian history. The seven decades of Ayyubid rule mark the slow and sometimes violent emergence of a new administrative relationship between Egypt and Syria, one in which Syria was subjected to close centralized control from Cairo for the unprecedented period of 250 years. These years saw also the gradual decay of a form of government--the family confederation--which had been the most characteristic political structure of Western Iran and the Fertile Crescent for three centuries, and its replacement by a unitary autocracy. Finally, it was under the Ayyubids that the army ceased to be an arm of the state and became, in effect, the state itself. When these internal developments are seen in the broader context of world history as it affected Syria during the first half of the thirteenth century--Italian commercial expansion, the Crusades of Frederick II and St. Louis, the Mongol expansion--then the great intrinsic interest of Ayyubid history becomes apparent. Professor Humphreys has developed these themes through close examination of the political fortunes of the Ayyubid princes of Damascus. For Damascus, though seldom the capital of the Ayyubid confederation, was, nevertheless, its hinge. The struggle for regional autonomy vs. centralization, for Syrian independence vs. Egyptian domination, was fought out at Damascus, and the city was compelled to stand no less than eleven sieges during the sixty-seven years of Ayyubid rule. Almost every political process of real significance either originated with the rulers of Damascus or was closely reflected in their policy and behavior. The book is cast in the form of a narrative, describing a structure of politics which was in no way fixed and static, but dynamic and constantly evolving. Indeed, the book does not so much concern the doings of a group of rather obscure princes as it does the values and attitudes which underlay and shaped their behavior. The point of the narrative is precisely to show what these values were, how they were expressed in real life, and how they changed into quite new values in the course of time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engaging biography that offers a new perspective on one of the most influential figures of the Crusades In 1187, Saladin marched triumphantly into Jerusalem, ending decades of struggle against the Christians and reclaiming the holy city for Islam. Four years later he fought off the armies of the Third Crusade, which were commanded by Europe’s leading monarchs. A fierce warrior and savvy diplomat, Saladin’s unparalleled courtesy, justice, generosity, and mercy were revered by both his fellow Muslims and his Christian rivals such as Richard the Lionheart. Combining thorough research with vivid storytelling, Jonathan Phillips offers a fresh and captivating look at the triumphs, failures, and contradictions of one of the Crusades’ most unique figures. Bringing the vibrant world of the twelfth century to life, this book also explores Saladin’s complicated legacy, examining the ways Saladin has been invoked in the modern age by Arab and Muslim leaders ranging from Nasser in Egypt, Asad in Syria, and Saddam Hussein in Iraq to Osama bin Laden, as well as his huge appeal across popular culture in books, drama, and music.
