The First Crusade is one of the most remarkable and bloody military campaigns in history, and set the start of the conflict between Christianty and Islam that exists to this day. Asbridge's brilliant work tells the story of the Pope's call for the liberating of Jerueslam from the Muslims and the differing groups of peoples and warlords against all the odds managed to do it in a very bloodsoaked way.
This is a gripping book and anyone who is fascinated by either military history or the crusades in general should read this.
