Description

The First Crusade: The Call from the East by Peter Frankopan In 1096, a massive expedition set off from Western Europe on a perilous journey to reclaim the Holy City of Jerusalem. After three years of hardship and danger, the knights of the First Crusade finally breached the city's defenses and captured it, a feat that seemed impossible just a few years earlier. This book offers a fresh and original perspective on the First Crusade, focusing on the role of Constantinople and the Byzantine Empire in shaping the events of the crusade. Frankopan's scholarly use of new sources reveals a strikingly different story from the one commonly told, one that radically alters our understanding of the entire crusade movement.
