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 most single-volume works. Taking recent scholarship into account, and using boxes, case studies, marginal directions and chronologies, the book is well laid out and easy to follow. Providing a fine overview of the crusade movement, students at all university levels will find The Crusades to be an invaluable historical resource.Jaspert, Nikolas is the author of 'Crusades ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780415359689 and ISBN 0415359686.
