The Crusades shook the world. But why did they happen? Their
origins are revealed in a new light. As part of a medieval world
war that stretched from Asia to Europe. At its centre was an
ancient empire - Byzantium. Told for the first time as a single,
linked narrative are three great events that changed history: the
fall of Byzantium in the eleventh century, the epic campaign of the
First Crusade and the origins of modern Turkey. Nick Holmes not
only presents the First Crusade in a wider global context but he
also puts forwards new interpretations of the original sources,
suggesting that its success was in fact largely accidental, and
that the central role of Byzantium in the Crusades has been
underestimated.
