Arab historians of the Crusades / selected and translated from the Arabic sources by Francesco Gabrieli
A selection of the Arab point of view, and these are hard to find for the ordinary reader. I think the 4 sections cover the whole existence of the kingdom of Outremere, and only wish for more.
Very interesting as giving the "other side of the story" --though personally I do not find it more sympathetic than the Christian side
Extremely interesting to see the Crusades from the other side.
Excellent book composed of quotes from Arabic writerss
