Translation of the book by Maaluf Amin "Crusades through the eyes of Arabs." Translated by Lashchuk I.L. according to the publication: Amin Maalouf. Les croisades vues par les arabes. Paris, 1983. The text is accompanied by notes from the translator. The basic message of this book is simple: to tell the story of the Crusades as they saw, experienced and recorded "on the other side" - in other words, in an Arab camp. The content of the book is based almost exclusively on the testimony of the then Arab historians and chroniclers.
