This review is from: Ayyubids and Early Rasulids in the Yemen (567-694 AH 1173-1295 AD) (New) (v. 1) (Hardcover)

This book covers the history of Yemen under the Egyptian Ayyubids (those of Salahuddin) and Rasulids, their administration of the country and the social climate of the country. Make sure you get the 2 volumes as volume one is the Arabic edition and volume 2 the English translation (that is of course unless you speak Arabic!)
