Book Synopsis
Drawing on vivid Arab chronicles, Amin Maalouf retells the Crusades from the Muslim perspective â an era of fierce resistance, Saladinâs triumph, and a lasting cultural memory that still shapes Arab identity and views of the West today.

Trade Review
'A useful and important analysis adding much to existing western histories ... worth recommending to George Bush.' London Review of Books 'Well-researched and highly readable.' The Guardian 'A wide readership should enjoy this vivid narrative of stirring events.' The Bookseller 'An inspiring story ... Very readable ... Well translated ... Warmly recommended.' The Times Literary Supplement 'Very well done indeed ... Should be put in the hands of anyone who asks what lies behind the Middle East's present conflicts.' Middle East International
