Ang: [Sca-cooks] A history of the Crusades

[agora at algonet.se]

Amin Malouf "The Crusades from the Arabs view" is a terrific good book, 
a tale of the tales of the "defeated". How the Arabs saw the Crusades, how 
they dealed with the Europeans. Anna Commenas book "The Alexiad" is also 
a very good reading. She was the oldest daughter of the emperor Alexis, 
founder of the dynasty Commeno.
She tells the history of the Crusades from the point of Byzantium. Well 
ritten and full of wit too...
Ana, on holiday on my old country, Uruguay. When I am back to Stockholm 
and reach my library, with several titles about the Crusades, can answer 
more properly.

Opinions, and your reasoning are quite welcome.

"When in doubt, heat it up and hit it with a hammer."
 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
