Description
The Crusades: A Very Short Introduction by Christopher Tyerman For over 200 years, Europe was gripped by crusading fervour, creating one of the most extraordinary episodes in world history. This period has fascinated generations with its complex mix of spirituality and greed, colonialism and cultural exchange. Yet despite its powerful hold on our imaginations, our knowledge of the Crusades remains obscured by time. In this clear and lively discussion, Christopher Tyerman explores the many debates surrounding the Crusades, bringing together issues of economic exploitation, the relationship between past and present, and the legacy of ideas and imagery that continues to resonate today. With customary flair and originality, he presents a nuanced understanding of these complex events. This book is part of the Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press, offering a concise and accessible introduction to a wide range of subjects.
