This book is about what happened next, and about why it is still happening.

The Crusades were a pivotal period in world history, but while much has been said of the swashbuckling Crusaders who stormed into the Middle East, much less has been said about those who were on the other end of this conflict. Yet it was out of this historic drama that dynamic figures like the Sultan Saladin came to prominence. Saladin was, by most measures, an unlikely candidate for greatness. Born to a Kurdish mercenary family with no particular claim to fame, he came of age more drawn to religious study than to soldiering.
