On August 15, 1199, Pope Innocent III called for a renewed
effort to deliver Jerusalem from the Infidel, but the Fourth
Crusade had a very different outcome from the one he preached.
Proceeding no further than Constantinople, the Crusaders sacked the
capital of eastern Christendom and installed a Latin ruler on the
throne of Byzantium. This revised and expanded edition of "The
Fourth Crusade" gives fresh emphasis to events in Byzantium and the
Byzantine response to the actions of the Crusaders. Included in
this edition is a chapter on the sack of Constantinople and the
election of its Latin emperor.A History Book Club selection.
