Uniquely multi-perspective, the anthology juxtaposes the recorded
experiences and views of participants on the opposing sides in the
Crusades. Each chapter focuses on an event, such as the Crusader
massacre of the inhabitants of Jerusalem in 1099 and the Siege of
Damascus in 1148, and is supported by commentary. Including some
sources never before translated into English, the collection
applies new perspectives to a popular and much-studied topic. In
tone and range, the anthology occupies the middle ground between
flimsy popular works lacking source analysis and heavy-duty
scholarly works too narrow in scope to appeal to anyone but the
specialist. It is perfect for college undergraduates, high school
students and readers with a general interest in medieval history.
The carefully-chosen contrasting contemporary views of key events,
including eyewitness accounts, memoirs and elite views, are laid
out in a clear and easy-to-follow format with introductory texts
and contextual notes. Together, they provide a unique introduction
to the most controversial events of the crusades, allowing readers
to formulate their own opinions of them.
