A new look at the crusaders, which shows how they pursued long-term
plans and clear strategic goals Medieval states, and particularly
crusader societies, often have been considered brutish and
culturally isolated. It seems unlikely that they could develop
"strategy" in any meaningful sense. However, the crusaders were
actually highly organized in their thinking and their decision
making was rarely random. In this lively account, Steve Tibble
draws on a rich array of primary sources to reassess events on the
ground and patterns of behavior over time. He shows how, from
aggressive castle building to implementing a series of invasions of
Egypt, crusader leaders tenaciously pursued long-term plans and
devoted single-minded attention to clear strategic goals. Crusader
states were permanently on the brink of destruction; resources were
scarce and the penalties for failure severe. Intuitive strategic
thinking, Tibble argues, was a necessity, not a luxury.
