This book gives those of us interesting in The Crusades another view of the times and what the thinking was of the Arab leadership. I found the book fascinating. I never would have thought the Arab world at the time was so fragmented or that they considered the Crusaders to be mostly unwashed heathens. Also many Muslims today consider the war on terror to be a continuation of those Crusades. I call this getting another perspective: http://www.theleadermaker.com/getting-another-perspective/
