This is a comprehensive account of the eight religious wars between
the Christian West and the Muslim East that dominated the Middle
Ages. Calling themselves "pilgrims of Christ," thousands of
Europeans from all stations in life undertook the harsh and bloody
quest to reclaim Jerusalem, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and
Christ's tomb for Christendom. Robert Payne brings to life every
step of the Crusaders' thousand-mile journey: the deprivation; the
desperate, rapacious, and brutal raids for food and supplies; the
epic battles for Antioch, Jerusalem, and Acre; the barbarous
treatment of captives; and the quarreling European princes who vied
for power and wealth in the Near East. An epic tale of the glorious
and the base, of unshakable faith and unspeakable atrocities, The
Dream and the Tomb captures not only the events but the very
essence of the Crusades.
