Beschreibung:
Dr Abdul Rahman Azzam obtained his Dphil in history from Oxford University and is an independent scholar specialising in Islamic history.
A.R. Azzam narrates the life of Saladin, placing him in the context of the 10th and 11th-century Sunni revival, a powerful intellectual renaissance that transformed every field of Islamic thought. Saladin was not just the brilliant military commander of popular imagination; his true greatness lay in his political & spirit vision.
