The renowned contemporary Arab historian of Islam, Dr. Ali M. Sallåbi has written a fascinating biography of a man who looms larger than life throughout history, yet who remains largely unknown to people outside

teristic candour) the geopolitical scene upon which the first Crusades were acted out and their effects on the Muslim world in
the twelfth century CE. The author discusses the events and introduces the many interesting personalities that played important
parts in this. real-life drama.

This three-volume work has been made more useful to the reader in this English edition through the addition of a map, a timeline, a list
of the dynasties of the period, and a comprehensive Glossary.
