epershand: "It was becoming an obsession" (Obsession)
I'm listening to an audiobook of Amin Maalouf's The Crusades Through Arab Eyes, and my addiction to that stretch of history is growing again.

So I'm looking for recommendations of similar books. I've read a fair amount about the Crusades from the Byzantine perspective, but this is the first I've read from the Arab perspective. Are there any other good books on the Arab perspective of the "Frankish invasions", or books on Saladin?

No I am totally not plotting Richard/Saladin in the Dragon Waiting verse. Why would you think that?
