Excellent but not for everyone September 6, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Simply put, this is a thoroughly researched and excellently written look into the IDEA of crusading. The author delves into the motivations behind the launch of the first crusade, the motivations of the participants and the social and intellectual footprint that the first crusade left.
It should be obvious therefore that this isn't a book for a new comer to crusading history. It will not tell you the story of the crusades; rather it is examining a specific (and massively interesting) aspect of the first crusade. If you know the basic events of the first crusade and want to know the social effects and what contemporaries were thinking etc then this book is for you. Newcomers should put this one on hold and read something like Asbridge's The First Crusade or Runciman's trilogy. Enjoy!
