Baybars was a Kipchak Turk sold in a slave market, trained as a soldier in Egypt, and raised to the throne of the Mamluks, the dynasty of former slaves who ruled Egypt and Syria. He fought at ‘Ayn Jalut against the Mongols, pushed the Crusaders back city by city, and built a postal system, an intelligence network and a legend. This book asks how a man with no family name built a state that outlasted him, and how much of the legend he wrote himself.
