The story of the battle of Hattin in 1187, in which the legendary Muslim leader Saladin destroyed the Crusader army of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem - and went on to restore the Holy City of Jerusalem to Islamic rule. In this new volume in the Great Battles series, John France analyses the origins and course of this pivotal battle, illuminates the roots of the bitter hatred which underlay it, and explains its significance in world history - from medieval times to
the present.
