Product Description

Review
"In 1095 Pope Urban II granted absolutions to whomever would reclaim the Holy Land for Christendom. With that assurance began two centuries of Crusades, and the story, in contemporary chronicles, artwork, and castellated ruins, is well treated in this interpretation of the movement to take up the cross."Booklist


Product Description
Written by a team of leading scholars, this richly illustrated book, with over 200 colour and black and white pictures, presents an authoritative and comprehensive history of the Crusades from the preaching of the First Crusade in 1095 to the legacy of crusading ideas and imagery today. This book is intended for students of medieval history from undergraduate level upwards; anyone with an interest in the Crusades, military history, or medieval history.

5.0 out of 5 stars Historical facts. No more., 8 Nov 2006
By Chivu Ion (Sinaia, PH, Romania) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very important book for people who want to know the facts without stories of romance and chivalry. It is very well organized with chapters dedicated to all the aspects of life from the time of the Crusades, aspects ranging from the military orders in various periods of time to the evolution of crusading literature. I recommend this book for people who need an overview of the period of the Crusades. It is also advisable, in order to comprehend the whole picture of the Crusades, to read opinions from the Muslim side. A very good book in this region is "Arab Historians of the Crusades" (The Islamic World Series) by Francesco Gabrieli.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellently organized and well illustrated book., 14 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This is an excellently organized and well illustrated book written with a general readership in mind. It summarises current opinions and supplements Sir Steven Runciman's classic history of the Crusades. The writers have made the most of original administrative, literary and legal documents. The chapters on Crusader's Songs and on the image of the crusades in modern times are of particular interest.
