      Focusing on the Muslim perspective during the Crusades, the book delves into the political landscape of the Levant before the First Crusade, emphasizing the significance of Muslim leaders such as Zangi, Nur al-Din, Saladin, and Baybars. It highlights the broader military and political context in which these figures operated, portraying their efforts in jihad as part of a larger narrative rather than merely a response to the Crusaders. Utilizing primarily Muslim sources, it aims to illuminate the often-overlooked stories and contributions of these leaders in the historical conflict.
