How the Crusades Changed History

Hundreds of years have passed since the last crusader knight laid down his sword, but the centuries of medieval warfare we collectively call the Crusades continue to hold powerful sway over our modern world and the tense conflicts between religions and entire civilizations. Because the Crusades have been so consequential to history, it’s essential that we understand the context, motivations, and preconditions of these military campaigns. Now, in Professor Philip Daileader’s How the Crusades Changed History, you’ll get an intellectually rewarding exploration of the ways in which the Crusades shaped the history of the medieval world—and laid the seeds for our own.
