Product Description

Review
"The Crusades first appeared in English translation in 1972 and was widely acclaimed both as a work of scholarship and as a teaching instrument that brilliantly encompassed within a single comprehensive volume the history of the crusades....[The new edition] will continue to provide the basic foundation for beginners and advanced students alike of the subject in an authoritative, orderly, and judicious manner."--History: Reviews of New Books
"Many have considered Mayer's work to be the best short introduction to the crusades. They will certainly applaud this updated edition."--Church History
"[Mayer] is the leading historian of the Crusades writing in German today."--The Catholic Historical Review

4.0 out of 5 stars A must read for anyone studying the Crusades, 2 April 2001
By A Customer
Mayer has produced an authoritative work that provides an excellent overview of the Crusading phenomenom. My only minor complaint is that sometimes it is too densely packed with detail and could do with a couple more maps. However I would strongly recommend this work to anyone who is serious about learning more of this fascinating area of history. I used this work when studying at University and have since looked back at it and it is still among the best. Forget about some of the coffee-table crusading books that are out there - get this one.
