The Crusades by Carole Hillenbrand
Islamic Perspectives
A reassessment of the medieval Crusades from Muslim perspectives, using Arabic sources to show how these campaigns were perceived, contested, and integrated into Islamic political, social, and religious life; the book challenges Eurocentric narratives by tracing diverse Muslim responses—from local accommodation and pragmatic alliances to calls for jihad—within a context of fragmented polities and shifting Mediterranean connections, and it considers the immediate consequences and long-term legacy of the Crusades in Muslim memory and historiography.
