Bøger af Jonathan Phillips

Nomineret til den prestigfyldte Cundill History Price 2019 Dramatisk biografi om den betydningsfulde muslimske hærfører og sultan Saladin, der i år 1187 formåede at generobre Jerusalem fra de kristne korsfarer - fortalt af en af verdens førende eksperter i korstogene. Kortstogene er en af de blodigste og mest dramatiske begivenheder i europæisk middelalder. Tiden er blevet skildret i populære film og bøger, herunder Jan Guillous serie om tempelridderen Arn og blockbusterfilmen Kingdom of Heaven (2005), men altid fra et kristent perspektiv. Bogen Sultan Saladin skildrer som noget nyt denne konfliktfyldte periode fra det muslimske perspektiv. Da muslimske styrker under Saladins ledelse i 1187 formående at generobre Jerusalem, forsagede det et ramaskrig i hele Europa. For første gang i næsten 90 år var den hellige by igen under direkte muslimsk ledelse. Men erobringen konsoliderede også Saladins magt på de indre linjer, og siden middelalderen er Saladin blevet hyldet af både kristne og muslimer. Bogen Sultanen Saladin er på en gang en levende biografi om den betydningsfulde hærfører og sultant Saladin og et portræt af hele Mellemøsten i middelalderen. Derudover trækker bogen tråde helt op til vores tid og viser, hvordan og hvorfor Saladin kan hjælpe med at forså Mellemøsten i dag. Jonathan Phillips, født 1965, er ph.d. i historie og professor i korstogstiden på University og London. Han er medudgiver af tidsskriftet Crusades, skribent ved BBC History Magazine og historiemagasinet History Today samt forfatter til en lang række anerkendte bøger om korstogene.

Although the notion of fighting for one's faith fell into disrepute in the Enlightenment, Phillips traces the crusading impulse from the bloody conquest of Jerusalem in the First Crusade and the titanic struggle between Richard the Lionheart and Saladin up to the present day - to George W.
