Críticas:
Peter Frankopan's reassessment of the Byzantine contribution to the origins and course of the First Crusade offers a compelling and challenging balance to traditional accounts. Based on fresh interpretations of primary sources, lucidly written and forcefully argued, The First Crusade will demand attention from scholars while providing an enjoyable and accessible narrative for the general reader (Christopher Tyerman, Author Of God’s War: A New History Of The Crusades)
In this fluent and dramatic account, Frankopan - quite rightly - places the Emperor Alexios at the heart of the First Crusade... Frankopan illuminates the complex challenges that faced Alexios and deftly depicts the boldness and finesse needed to survive in the dangerous world of medieval Byzantium (Jonathan Phillips, Author Of Holy Warriors)
A dazzling book, perfectly combining deep scholarship and easy readability. The most important addition to Crusading literature since Runciman (John Julius Norwich)
Frankopan [writes with] tremendous literary verve. The cry to free Jerusalem has never been better expressed. Frankopan's creative revisionism pierces the armour of medieval history with a new weapon: the call of the East (Colin Gardner Oxford Times)
A nuanced and often counterintuitive story of power politics, international diplomacy and war and, ultimately that very rare thing - a truly fresh interpretation of an old story (Michael Hodges Time Out)

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Dust jacket fully intact, only lightly rubbed at edges. Light pencil notes on half title page. Pages a little darkened. Bindings solid and secure. Publisher's note: The First Crusade: The Untold Story is the first book, however, to address the history of the expedition from the perspective of Constantinople. It argues that, contrary to received wisdom, the Byzantine Empire and its ruler -- the Emperor Alexios I Komnenos -- were facing annihilation on the eve of the Crusade, and that the situation in Asia Minor and in Constantinople had been unravelling rapidly and disastrously from the start of the 1090s. It was for this reason that pleas for military support were made to the papacy u as well as to prominent aristocrats in Western Europe around this time. With its themes of the rise of the papacy, the confrontation between Christianity and Islam, the evolution of the concept of holy war, of knightly piety and religious devotion, it is not surprising that the First Crusade has proved enduringly popular, capturing the imagination of a wide audience for centuries. In this fascinating and innovative study, Frankopan brilliantly shifts the paradigm and asks vital questions that have never been posed before.
