Based on the testimonies of Arab historians and chroniclers of the time, Amin Maalouf recounts the history of the crusades from the perspective of the Muslim world, an often-forgotten point of view. This book covers the period between the arrival of the first crusaders in the Holy Land in 1096 and the capture of Acre by Sultan Khalil in 1291, two centuries that shaped both the West and the Arab world, influencing their relations to this day. An essential work to understand the complexity of this historical period.
