Crusading fervor gripped Europe for over 200 years, creating one of the most extraordinary, vivid episodes in world history. Whether the Crusades are regarded as the most romantic of Christian expeditions, or the last of the barbarian invasions, they have fascinated generations ever since, and their legacy of ideas and imagery has resonated through the centuries, inspiring Hollywood movies and great works of literature. Even today, to invoke the Crusades is to stir deep cultural myths, assumptions and prejudices.

Yet despite their powerful hold on our imaginations, our knowledge of them remains obscured an distorted by time. Were the Crusaders motivated by spiritual rewards, or by greed? Were the Crusades an experiment in European colonialism, or a manifestation of religious love? How were they organized and founded?

With customary flair and originality, Christopher Tyerman picks his way through the many debates to present a clear and lively discussion of the Crusades; bringing together issues of colonialism, cultural exchange, economic exploitation, and the relationship between past and present.

I don’t know if the subject matter was beyond the scale of VSI, or the author just struggled to give a 30,000 ft review of the Crusades without losing the thread, but I was hoping for a lot more from this short survey. It was dry, choppy, and seemed like a couple Crusades essays stitched together than a unified introduction. There were some interesting parts and I liked the author's refusal to pander to the myths or blame or excuse the crusades for more or less than realistic. A big missed opportunity.

Find a better book on the crusades. There’s very little in the way of objective history here.
