Men of Marj Dabiq: the story of the Ottoman conquest of Egypt and the Levant

Men of Marj Dabiq by Salah Issa ... "None of the men who filled the space of Marj Dabiq on that hot summer night knew exactly how things would end. All they knew was that war had become inevitable, and it could break out at any moment, and their stay in this vast marsh would not last long. As for how luck would distribute among them: who among them would be taken prisoner? And who would fall as a martyr in the battle? And would the army led by their Sultan, King Al-Ashraf Abu al-Nasr Qansuh al-Ghawri, win, or would the army of their enemy, Sultan al-Muzaffar Sulaiman Khan bin Bayezid the Ottoman, be victorious? None of them knew anything about all of that." Author: Salah Issa Pages: 246 Dar Al-Karma for Publishing and Distribution
