Here is a list of most of the books that I own which are relevant to the Crusades. I would appreciate suggestions on books which will complement this list - especially if they are currently in print.
Warfare in the Latin East 1192-1294 Christopher Marshall
Latin Siege Warfare in the twelfth century R. Rogers
Crusading Warfare 1097-1193 R.C. Smail
A Wargamers guide to the Crusades Ian Heath
Armies & Enemies of the Crusades 1096-1291 Ian Heath
The Art of War in the Middle Ages (vol1) Charles Oman
The Crusaders Robert Payne
The third Crusade Anonymous (published by Folio books)
Alexiad of Anna Commena Penguin classics
Chronicles of the Crusades Joinville & Villehardouin Penguin classics
A History of the Crusades (in 3 volumes) Stephen Runciman
Arms & Armour of the Crusading era 1050-1350 David Nicolle
Crusader Castles in Cyprus, Greece & the Aegean 1191-1571 D. Nicolle (Osprey books)
Crusader Castles in the Holy Land 1097-1192 David Nicolle (osprey)
Crusading Castles Hugh Kennedy
I also enjoyed the following novels:-
Lord Geoffreys Fancy Alfred Duggan
Lady for Ransom Alfred Duggan
Count Bohemund Alfred Duggan
Knight with Armour Alfred Duggan
Knights of Dark Renown Graham Shelby
Kings of Vain Intent Graham Shelby
These horse archers should be the majority of early Saracen armies until Mamluk/Ghulam cavalry came into the ascendancy and even then remained an important component.
