Crusades Bookstore Review:

An important modern analysis of many of the sources that have been missed by older, western historians. Maalouf provides fascinating translations of contemporary Arab accounts, demonstrating how little attention was paid the crusade, and documenting the rise of the counterattack.

From the Cover:
The author has combed the works of contemporary Arab chronicles of the Crusades, eyewitnesses and often participants. He retells their story and offers insights into the historical forces that shape Arab and Islamic consciousness today.
