"""[Mallett's] book remains a valuable supplement to existing literature on how Muslims responded to the two centuries of Frankish presence in the medieval Middle East."" - Christopher J. van der Krogt, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand in Islam and Christian–Muslim Relations, 2016 ""Popular Muslim Reactions to the Franks in the Levant is an excellent source book that documents the variety of Muslim responses to the Crusades. Alex Mallett showcases his extensive knowledge and expertise of the sources (both medieval European and Islamic) on the Crusader period, while tackling a very interesting topic and presenting a mass of interesting data."" -Suleiman A. Mourad, Smith College ""This is a satisfying book, which disentangles an important issue in the discussion of local Muslim reactions to the Frankish conquest of the Holy Land and the establishment of crusader states in the wake of the captures of Antioch (1098) and Jerusalem (1099)."" - Philippe Buc, Wien in MIÖG 125 (2017)"

'... tells us much about the lived experiences of people living with invasion and occupation... shed[s] many fascinating insights into the ways individuals and groups negotiated war and its aftermath. From personal decisions to aid or resist Frankish occupation, to collective attempts to repel or accommodate these invaders, the Muslims of the 12th and 13th-century Levant have left plenty of evidence of their involvement in the political events of their time. Mallett has written a book that shifts our view of these events quite profoundly.' Reviews in History
