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.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043024765271,"sku":"9781849083171","price":12.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781849083171.jpg?v=1750956714","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/saladin-9781849083171","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
