Thom reviewed The Crusades by Thomas Asbridge
Review of 'The Crusades' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
All five crusades, their prelude and aftermath. Brings together source documents from Christian and Muslim sources, along with recent archaeological finds. What a great book!
Update 2021 reread - doesn't work as well as an audio book, a little harder to follow. Checked out from library for first read; don't remember the maps and supplementary materials the audio book is missing.
