This is the first and only book to examine the Crusades from the
added viewpoint of psychoanalysis, studying the hidden emotions and
fantasies that drove the Crusaders and the Muslims to undertake
their terrible wars. The reader will learn that the deepest and
most powerful motives for the Crusades were not only religious or
territorial - or the quest for lands, wealth or titles - but also
unconscious emotions and fantasies about one's country, one's
religion, one's enemies, God and the Devil, Us and Them. The book
also demonstrates the collective inability to mourn large-group
losses and the collective needs of large groups such as nations and
religions to develop a clear identity, to have boundaries, and to
have enemies and allies. Motives which the Crusaders and the
Muslims were not aware of were among the most powerful in driving
several centuries of terrible and seemingly endless warfare.
