Review of Saladin by Abdul Rahman Azzam, translated into Turkish by Pınar Arpaçay

Summary/Abstract: The Egyptian historian Abdul Rahman Azzam, reevaluetes the main reasons for the success of Saladin, in the context of the political and intellectual dimensions of the Sunni revival that emerged in the Islamic world in the Xth and XIth centuries in his book Saladin. Thinking that Saladin's image based on his brilliant military achievements is insufficient to understanding of his true heritage, Azzam claims that his true magnitude is based on his political and spiritual vision. This book, which is the first Saladin biography written in English by a Muslim historian, aims to distinguish historical Saladin from legendary by analyzing the political and intellectual background that affects Saladin's success.
