A look at the Third Crusade, in which Richard the Lionhearted fought to reclaim Christendom's holiest city, Jerusalem, from the Muslim leader Saladin. Included: how Saladin---often portrayed as a barbarian---was an educated man from a culture more sophisticated than Richard's; and comments from author John Gillingham ("Richard I"); Dr. Youssef Choueiri (University of Exeter); and Suhail Zakkar, a professor at Damacus University.
