The success of the First Crusade, and its capture of Jerusalem in
1099, has been conventionally explained in terms of its ideological
and political motivation. This book looks at the First Crusade
primarily as a military campaign and asks why it was so successful.
Modern writing about the crusade has tended to emphasise the moral
dimension and the development of the idea of the crusade, but its
fate was ultimately decided on the field of battle. Victory in the
East looks at the nature of war at the end of the eleventh century
and the military experience of all the contending parties in order
to explain its extraordinary success. It is the first such
examination, taking into account all other factors but emphasising
the military.
