Description
In 1095 Pope Urban II summoned the Christian world to war to secure access to the Holy Land. The Christian army captured Jerusalem, establishing a kingdom that was to last for 200 years. This book aims to bring the confrontation to life, presenting both the European and Arab points of view.

Well-illustrated, maybe too many illustrations though because they interfered with the flow of reading. Interesting to see the real story: the atrocities of the Crusaders, and the influence of these events on the present-day Muslim world and the trouble in the Middle East.
