The Crusades through Arab eyes
Maalouf, Amin2006
Book
Amin Maalouf has sifted through the works of contemporary Arab chroniclers of the Crusades, eyewitnesses and often participants in the events. He retells their stories in their own style, giving us a vivid portrait of a society rent by internal conflicts and shaken by traumatic encounter with an alien culture.
