At a time when the Islamic world was facing severe challenges, with the Abbasid Caliphate fracturing and various forces internally conflicted. The Ayyubids were preoccupied with the Crusades, while the Khwarazmians remained isolated and content with their rule. The Seljuks had significantly diminished, and Genghis Khan emerged with his Mongol empire, sweeping through the weakened Islamic world. In Anatolia, Ertugrul's story unfolded, stretching over half a century, barely documented in history books, yet profoundly impactful. It heralded the rise of the great Ottoman Empire, which ruled for nearly 600 years... The story of building a nation. • Author: Ahmed Al-Manzalawi • Publisher: Dar Al-Taqwa for Publishing and Distribution, Cairo • Edition number: 6 • Year of printing: 2018 • Number of pages: 232 • Parts: 1 • Cover type: Paperback • Paper type: Recycled • Printing color: Single color • ISBN: 9789774294800
