The Children's Crusade was possibly the most extraordinary episode
in the history of the crusades. The pueri (children, youngsters) of
1212 set out to recover Jerusalem and the True Cross in medieval
Europe's first youth movement. Over the centuries their unarmed
crusade has been imagined and re-imagined. The first full-length
modern study in English of this memorable popular crusade sheds new
light on its history and offers new perspectives on its supposedly
dismal outcome. Its richly re-imagined history and mythistory is
explored from the thirteenth century to the late-twentieth century.
Its mythistorians include: Matthew Paris, Voltaire, D'Annunzio,
Brecht, Runciman, Andrzejewski, Bernard Thomas, Kurt Vonnegut and
Agatha Christie.
advanced metastatic disease of solid tumors, dictates that each
tumor mass, indeed each individual metastasis, will have a unique
antigen and cytokine environment and hence unique response to
immune modu lation. A differential response to immunotherapy is
thus inevitable. 4. Many of the human trials described are not
randomized and report survival or response against historical
controls. Most tumors described are immunogenic human tumors: renal
cell cancer and melanoma are most common. In order to avoid the
well-described inter-patient vari ation and rare incidence of
spontaneous response among patient samples as well as selection
bias and changes in practice over time, randomized trials are
required. 5. Immunological treatment is unlike conventional
chemotherapy in its endpoint. Most chemotherapeutic regimes require
a complete response or a good partial response for cure or good
palliation. There are now many cases where immunotherapy has
provided long-term palliation without massive tumor reduction.
Immunity may be stimulated to a degree which holds tumorigenicity
in check and most importantly, pro vides good palliation for the
patient in a manner that differs essentially from chemotherapy."
