Dr Abdul Rahman Azzam obtained his DPhil in history from Oxford University in 1992. He is an independent scholar specialising in Islamic history and thought.
"Absorbing." - FT Weekend "The strength of Azzam's study lies in illuminating Saladin's many connections with Sunni theologians, jurists and teachers, and their mutually reinforcing activities, such as his foundation of numerous madrassas that embedded Sunni orthodoxy among the Egyptian population, but also turned out trained administrators for his growing empire." - Times Higher Education
