This new study, which places him against the background of Islamic history, beliefs and culture, is based upon a sympathetic understanding of Moslem attitudes and gives a balanced view of a man who, even by his Moslem enemies and rivals, was regarded as remarkable. Jerusalem had fallen to the First Crusade in 1099. The Latin Kingdom, founded on Christmas Day of the following year, lasted until Saladin destroyed King Guy's army at the Horns of Hattin in 1187. Saladin's magnanimity at the surrender of Jerusalem and other cities won the reluctant respect of the defeated Christians. The Crusade that was now led against him by Philip of France and Richard I of England inflicted terrible reverses on the Moslems; yet despite faint~heartedness and even desertions among his supporters, Saladin held Jerusalem and negotiated an honourable peace. He became the West's favourite Moslem, a chivalrous figure of romance, honoured by writers from Dante to Sir Walter Scott and beyond. But many fellow Moslems saw him as a ruthlessly ambitious upstart who was exploiting the Holy War in order to establish his own power. The politics of the Moslem world, not the Crusaders, determined Saladin's career. P. H. Newby has travelled most of the Saladin territory~ from Tikrit in Iraq, where Saladin was born, to Damascus, where he died ~ and for some years lived in Cairo, where the most striking of Saladin's monuments remains.
