The basic idea of this book is simple: to tell the story of the Crusades as they were seen, lived, and recorded on 'the other side'–in other words, in the Arab camp. Its content is based almost exclusively on the testimony of contemporary Arab historians and chroniclers-Amin Maalouf, The Crusades Through Arab Eyes, Al Saqi Books Which statement best explains why the point of view of this source is described as "the other side"?

A. Most Arab people who lived through the Crusades could not read or write.
B. Arabs lived on the other side of the world from the Crusaders.
C. Historians have often studied the Crusades from the European perspective.
D. The Arab point of view of the Crusades was only written down many years later.
