Al-Kaamil fi al-Tareekh 10(volume)
This is one of the key resources for those researching medieval Islamic history, crusades and Mongol invasions of Muslim lands. Author of this book Ibn Athir is the first hand witness for most of the key events in his era and provides a detailed description of those situations. With the disintegration of the Seljuqid Empire, he was with the army of the Kurdish adventurer Salah od-Din Ayyoubi in Syria, and has written eye-witness accounts of the battles with the Crusader invaders from Europe, who had usurped Palestine and illegally set up the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. He was about 28 years old when Bayt al-Moqaddas and Palestine were liberated after 88 years of Crusader occupation by the joint Islamic army of Kurds, Turks, Arabs and Iranians. This book, his chief work, is a general history of the world, titled "al-Kamel fi’t-Tarikh" (The Complete History), in which he has included reports of the destructive events taking place in the last years of his life in the Islamic east, particularly in Central Asia and Khorasan, where the barbaric Mongol onslaught was destroying centuries of flourishing civilized life.
