The Crusades Through Arab Eyes by Amin Maalouf
fast-paced

Maalouf writes so well<3 made a mistake reading the first half of this slowly cause he speeds through events and names so quickly i kept putting it down for a few weeks and forgetting who everyone was. the chapter on salah al din was so good
