Críticas:

"sheds important light on the reality behind the various medieval accounts of warfare/crusades and forces us to reexamine many of our assumptions about war in the Middle Ages, and how people involved in it were treated. .. [A] fascinating collection." Albrecht Classen in Sixteenth Century Journal, XXXVIII/4 (2007), 1089-1091 "These are essays worth reading and absorbing. Some are stimulating as well as informative. ... the collective volume has a place in any bibliography on medieval and Crusading warfare... It belongs in libraries on the history of warfare, medieval military history, medieval history, Byzantium, medieval Islam, and the medieval eastern Mediterranean." Walter E. Kaegi in Mamluk Studies Review, vol. 11, no. 2, 2007, 197-199. "this volume contains a good mix of papers...will mostly appeal to historians focusing on the Middle East ... I would recommend Noble Ideals and Bloody Realities for any library shelf." Peter Konieczny, in H-War (March, 2007) "The essays offer exciting points of departure for future research, particularly for comparative approaches" William Caferro in Speculum, 82/3 (2007), 693-694

Reseña del editor:

The contributions presented in this volume address several issues related to the topic of medieval warfare from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and examining a number of geographical regions. The contributors analyze social and economic issues, military strategy, technological and medical developments, ideology and rhetoric, and address warfare in Europe, the Byzantine Empire and the Muslim world. In three parts, the contributors explore warfare in theory, warfare in practice and warfare as perceived through medieval and modern historiography. In doing so they present a number of engaging case studies that will be of use to students and scholars interested in warfare and its effects on medieval society.
