Ain Jalut
3 Sep 1260 — At the Spring of Goliath, the Mamluks of Egypt — slave-soldiers raised from the same steppe peoples — spring a feigned retreat on the Mongols themselves. Kitbuqa’s army is destroyed. It is the empire’s first defeat that is never avenged: the tide has found its western shore.
This is one scene of Chapter 8 — The Hammer on Islam in The Mongol Empire, 1206–1294.
