Description
A History of the Crusades: The Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Franks East 1100-1187 by Steven Runciman Steven Runciman's A History of the Crusades is a masterful work of historical narrative that challenges traditional views of the Crusades. In this first volume, Runciman tells the story of the First Crusade, from its origins in pilgrimage to the horrors of the siege of Jerusalem and the establishment of new territories in the eastern Mediterranean. With verve and drama, Runciman brings to life the complex and often brutal world of the Crusades, shifting the focus of the story from the West to the East. This is a gripping and thought-provoking account that has been hailed as one of the major feats of contemporary historical writing. First published in 2016, this first edition of A History of the Crusades is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of the Middle East and the medieval world.
