{"product_id":"9781780962368","title":"Saladin","description":"This Osprey Command book looks closely at the early life, military experiences and key battlefield exploits of Al-Malik al-Nasir Yusuf Ibn Najm al-Din Ayyub Ibn Shahdi Abu'l-Muzaffar Salah al-Din – or Saladin as he is more commonly known outside the Islamic world – who is broadly regarded as the greatest hero of the Crusades, even in Europe. 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 USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47160850186480,"sku":"9781780962368","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781780962368_p0.jpg?v=1763714397","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781780962368","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
