Opis

In this handy guide Jonathan Riley-Smith, one of the most familiar names in Crusader studies, aims to identify the most important themes of the crusades and explain them in a concise and accessible manner. Once a relatively controversial statement of his new pluralist view of crusading, it is now pretty much the standard work on the subject.
