## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Very well written
  

*by D***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 December 2023*

My favourite book on the first crusade thus far. Very interestingly written, full of facts, but at the same time maintaining pace of gripping narrative. Would love to see more maps and plans (i.e. battles and sieges), but still loved it.

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2015*

A readable account of the First Crusade. Other reviewers have explained the synopsis and contents of the book. I will add that I found this to be a readable, easy-to-understand account of the First Crusade. The horrors of Medieval war are made clear, as well as the motivation of the crusaders and why they succeeded, often against impossible odds.  Some of the problems were of their own self-doing.  I found the beginning of the book particularly useful, such as explaining the concept of a 'Just War', the right of conquest and just how real hell and sin were to the medieval mind.  The maps are clear and concise and the photographs are in colour and add to the experience of reading the book. Recommended.
