Description
Exploring both Arab and European points of view, this is a fascinating account of the crusades, the bloody confrontation between two very different worlds.
Essential reading for our times.
In 1095 Pope Urban II summoned the Christian world to a religious war to secure safe access to the Holy Land. Against all the odds, the Christian army fought its way across Asia Minor and captured Jerusalem, establishing a kingdom that was to last for two hundred years.
