Episode #5 - Saladin the Merciful

In this episode, Ritchie and Paul talk about the great Islamic leader Saladin and his successful efforts against the Crusading forces during the Second Crusade. We look at this rise to power, his success against the crusading forces, and ultimately his decision to take Jerusalem in a much more merciful manner than his crusading counter parts. We discuss the rational and strategy behind showing mercy and look deeper into what made Saladin such a unique and merciful leader.
