À propos de cet audio

The Crusades is an authoritative, accessible single-volume history of the brutal struggle for the Holy Land in the Middle Ages. Thomas Asbridge—a renowned historian who writes with “maximum vividness” (Joan Acocella, The New Yorker)—covers the years 1095 to 1291 in this big, ambitious, readable account of one of the most fascinating periods in history. From Richard the Lionheart to the mighty Saladin, from the emperors of Byzantium to the Knights Templar, Asbridge’s book is a magnificent epic of Holy War between the Christian and Islamic worlds, full of adventure, intrigue, and sweeping grandeur.

Amazing work and cross cultural history. I enjoyed the narrators voice and nature and the authors retelling of storyies that allowed a quiet visualization of the experience. Perfect for the lay person.

Loved every minute

One thousand years later, and again war in Syria. War and depravity over a city, Jerusalem. And of course jihad....My favorite quote from Einstein is "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones". I believe the humankind "kill-switch" is ingrained within our 23 chromosomes, and regardless of the stated reason, man really needs to kill other people. If death is not final, a warrior has nothing to lose. If this warrior believes that there is someplace glorious when he dies then it makes sense (to fight). But it is not about religion, it is about that impulse, that dark, dark impulse. People who are born with the "gift of gab", have always been able to talk people into crusades. People who are born with other gifts, are always willing to listen, and in fact seek out such people. i.e. (Hitler and Germans, and lately Trump and Americans). The only thing that has really changed, is the weapons..

Those Who Do Not Learn From History Are Doomed

I wanted to learn more about the crusades era as a way to educate myself on some of the historical bases for current events. This book dispelled my romanticized views and painted a clear portrait of the brutality of the wars during those two centuries.
I have now a better starting point to try to understand the rich history and the struggles of the peoples of the levant.

Excellent, encompassing and vivid

I enjoyed this comprehensive history of the crusades. Especially as it presents both sides fairly

Complete, balanced academic

I had a hard time finishing it. it was boring in how it was wrote and the narrator just made it even more boring. Very interesting though.

Good, but kind of boring.

Don't know why but the author *really* loves that word. Otherwise, I enjoyed the book. It's an in-depth look at the crusades and their impact. A lot of the finer details didn't sink in the first time, so I will probably have to listen to it again.

This book goes into details that most of us do not know. I love history, especially the times up to the 1700's, this book showed me how little i really know about the details!

Thanks for this insightful book.

Great book on History

Great piece of history.

Good story, and the narrator is great for the most part until you get to later chapters. That's when you might start yelling "MarKEE, MarKEE" at your phone every time you hear the narrator pronounce Marquis as Markwis. I don't know why this irks me so much. It shouldn't be a big deal. Yet here i am. Ok back to the story

Mostly Good, one little irk
