Teacher James Waterson presents The Knights of Islam: The Wars of
the Mamluks, a historical chronicle of the Mamluks--perhaps the greatest
warriors of the Medieval Age. Originally slave soldiers of Islamic
masters, they evolved into a fierce independent force with its own
warrior caste Warrior caste can refer to; - Kshatriya - A Kshatriya is a member of the military or reigning order, according to the law-code of Manu the second ranking caste of the Indian varna system of four castes, the first being the Brahmin or priestly caste, the third the Vaishya or
and culture. They were the first military power to defeat
the Mongols; they waged wars against the Crusaders and the Ottomans;
they created a unique martial code comparable to Western chivalry chivalry (shĭv`əlrē), system of ethical ideals that arose from feudalism and had its highest development in the 12th and 13th cent. or
Japanese Bushido; and they ruled Egypt for hundreds of years. The story
of Mamluks is one of strategy, betrayal, the long struggle between
Christendom and Islam, courage, and the rise and decline of tenaciously
formidable warriors. A handful of black-and-white and color plates
illustrate this fascinating medieval military history, enthusiastically
recommended for library shelves.
