Críticas:

"Refreshing an often-told story...without overwhelming the reader...he correctly places the Crusades in their historical perspective in an accessible manner" BBC History "...[Phillips] hits the bull's-eye in his level of detail, well chosen primary sources, and broad array of learning aids." "...teachers and students will find the combination of features highly convenient." Deborah Gerish, Crusades, Vol 4 (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2006)

Reseña del editor:

The idea of the crusade remains a potent one.

In this compelling account, Jonathan Philips moves away from modern constructs and possible misconceptions of the crusades, to explore the origins and development of the idea in its historical context.

Through a mixture of narrative and thematic chapters, the book provides both an outline of key events and issues in the history of the crusades to the Holy Land, and an insight into new areas of research.

Supporting documents include letters, charters, poetry, songsa and art.  Aimed at 1st and 2nd year history students, thi s new textbook will bring an intriguing subject vividly to life.
