Some of the world's foremost historians - including Morris Bishop, J. Christopher Herold, H. R. Trevor-Roper, and Barbara Tuchman - tell the stories of the greatest showdowns of all time. Here are the stories of: Richard the Lionheart facing off against the sultan Saladin; Pope Leo I against Attila the Hun; Spanish Explorer Hernán Cortés vs. Aztec King Moctezuma II; and Emperor Napoleon facing off against Russia's Alexander I. Our collection of great historical confrontations ends with the 1904 standoff between President Teddy Roosevelt and Moroccan desperado Mulay Ahmad al-Raysuni over the kidnapping of an American citizen.
