The Crusades

This German-to-English translation of a highly successful book is a clear, approachable, student-friendly introduction to the history of the crusades.
With a long chronological span, from the eleventh to the late fifteenth century, and with a wide geographical coverage of the whole of Europe and some of the Middle East, The Crusades is clear, concise and more wide-ranging than any other single volume works.

Taking recent scholarship into account, and using boxes, case studies, marginal directions and chronologies at the beginning of each chapter, the book is well laid out and easy to follow.

Providing a fine overview of the crusade movement, students of all university levels will find this packed with incredibly useful information, and will return again and again to this invaluable historical resource.
