Saladin

Yes, history does record many conflicts and wars, but to understand them, we must look "behind the scenes" to meet those who played a pivotal role in each as well as the events that led up to them, and often caused much of the enmity. And, so it "behind the scenes" that we go some 800 years ago. Where? Well, the focus will be Israel, Jordan, and Syria, but we'll also venture into Egypt and England and France, for this conflict involved a host of countries. And, to do this, we are looking at the life of a key figure, a leader named Saladin. He often gets only a paragraph or two in history books, but after this issue, you probably will say he needs a chapter! The East saw him as a hero; the West saw him as a model of chivalry! Why? You'll find all in the issue-don't miss it!
