Few
attempts had been made to define 'the crusade' before this book was first published
in 1977. Since then, a number of historians have built on Jonathan Riley-Smith's
original conclusions. Now in its fourth edition, this classic starting point
for the study of the crusading movement has been updated to take into account
the lastest developments in the field.
What Were the Crusades?
elucidates key ideas and institutions which have been neglected in the past
demonstrates, through the analysis of European campaigns, that the movement
was not confined to expeditions launched to recover the Holy Land - or to defend
the Christian presence there - and shows that it continued, in one form or another,
into the eighteenth century and perhaps beyond
draws attention to the increasing interest of historians in the motivation of
crusaders
now includes material on a child crusader and concludes with a short discussion
of the current effects of aggressive Pan-Islamism
features a new map illustrating the different theatres of war
Original in its conception, this essential guide is a contribution of major
importance to crusading scholarship. In its clear and concise treatment of the
issues, it remains an unequalled introduction to the subject for students and
general readers alike.
"An indispensable short introduction to a vast subject."
—Thomas Madden, St. Louis University
Jonathan Riley-Smith, one of the foremost crusading scholars and author of several
