P. H. Newby presents Saladin not merely as a military genius, but as a complex statesman, a man of deep personal faith, and a ruler whose chivalric reputation earned the respect of both allies and enemies alike. Written with the narrative elegance of a seasoned author, the work situates Saladin firmly within the turbulent political and religious landscape of the twelfth-century Middle East, illuminating the tensions between the Crusader kingdoms, the Fatimid caliphate, and the Sunni revival. Newby argues that understanding Saladin requires understanding his era — a world of shifting alliances, holy war, and competing visions of civilization — and the result is a biography that is as much a portrait of an age as it is of a man.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48839385120987,"sku":"2026770002149-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c4ae9b2f-9c1d-4d8e-8ec5-0407fdd0d30c.png?v=1780561219","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770002149-secondhand-saladin-in-his-time","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
