{"product_id":"the-battle-of-ain-jalut-eva-myers-9798185856888","title":"The Battle of Ain Jalut: The Forgotten Clash That Decided the Fate of Islam, Egypt, and the Mongol Conquest","description":"Four Mongol envoys arrive in Cairo carrying a message meant to break a nation before a single sword is drawn.\u003cbr\u003eThe Sultan's answer is to cut them in half and hang their heads from the city gate.\u003cbr\u003eThere is no turning back now.\u003cbr\u003eFew people know that the empire which erased Baghdad from the map, an empire that seemed unstoppable across three continents, was finally halted not by kings or crusaders, but by an army of former slaves.\u003cbr\u003eThe Battle of Ain Jalut tells the true story of the forgotten 1260 clash that decided the fate of Islam, Egypt, and the Mongol conquest, a single morning near a spring in Galilee that changed the course of medieval history. At its center stands Baibars, a boy sold into slavery who rose to become one of history's most formidable commanders, a man whose warnings were ignored, whose loyalty was tested, and whose ambition would ultimately place a crown on his own head.\u003cbr\u003eThe hidden truth behind this victory is more brutal, more human, and more surprising than most history books admit. Betrayal, assassination, shifting alliances between Christians, Muslims, and Mongols, and an empire that ultimately consumed itself from within, all of it unfolds here in vivid, page turning detail.\u003cbr\u003eThis book matters because Ain Jalut marked the first real check on Mongol expansion, a turning point most readers have never heard of despite its enormous consequences. Readers will walk away understanding not just what happened, but why empires fall, and how a handful of decisive individuals can alter the course of world history.\u003cbr\u003ePerfect for readers of military history, medieval politics, and stories of extraordinary human resilience, this book is most rewarding for anyone curious about the moments history nearly forgot.\u003cbr\u003eWhat you're about to discover will change how you see the Mongol Empire's legacy forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eva Myers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798185856888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Eva Myers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49174223913215,"sku":"9798185856888","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e7552e38-43d0-41ce-9226-c9ab9f54b1a5.jpg?v=1788958487","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-battle-of-ain-jalut-eva-myers-9798185856888","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
