1.	[no image]	Crusades: A Short History from Athlone Press Customer Review: The two words that this reviewer was left with upon reading Jonathan Riley-Smith's account of the Crusades was: balanced and encyclopedic. The first signifies high praise; the second not so much. The casual reader looking for a fair account of the Crusades has his work cut out for him.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		The Oxford Illustrated History of the Crusades (Oxford Illustrated Histories) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $9.99 Customer Review: I do not know who this book was written for. As an Oxford Illustrated History, you would think it would give you a straightforward play by play of the major events, battles, personalities, etc. This book gives no such thing. It spends the first 30 pages disabusing you of opinions about the crusade... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		What Were the Crusades? from Palgrave Macmillan Customer Review: I found this book to be a good academic (maybe a bit boring) introduction to the subject of the crusades. It is not a garrish or sensational account of this Christian invasion of the Levant between the 11th and 13th centuries. Instead is an attempt to dispassionately classify the crusades in an... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		The Crusades, Christianity, and Islam (Bampton Lectures in America) from Columbia University Press Price: $19.60 Customer Review: "The Crusaders ..." , in my estimation, is clearly written with an even-handed approach. A bit painful; yet, as the saying goes: At times, the truth hurts. Fr. Bud	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		The First Crusaders, 1095-1131 from Cambridge University Press Price: $27.46 Customer Review: The First Crusaders, 1095-1131 Amazingly detailed and researched, but I would expect nothing less from Jonathan Riley-Smith. (He also wrote the book The Crusades.) This book lists every possible participant in the First Crusade, complete with documentation and, if at all possible, the location... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		The Oxford History of the Crusades from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $4.99 Customer Review: I found this guide to the Crusades to be very well written. It tends to be somewhat on the dry side - published by Oxford University Press, that shouldn't come as any surprise. While somewhat dry at times, it provides the reader with a wealth of quite invaluable information on the Crusades, how they... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.	[no image]	The First Crusade and the Idea of Crusading (The Middle Ages Series) from University of Pennsylvania Press Price: $24.94 Customer Review: Riley Smith focuses on the title of his book, that is what he wants to present and does. It is not a light read, but anyway it is very clear and dinamic; the author presents facts in an interesting and condensed way, and he does take time (we apreciate that!)to explain the sources he has used in his... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
