En savoir plus sur le livre
The history of the Crusades from the Middle Ages to the present is a phenomenon rich in legends and widely recognized. Jonathan Phillips explores how the idea of holy war extended beyond the mere recapture of Jerusalem, serving as a political tool against rebellious Christians and other opponents of the papacy. Through a wealth of contemporary sources, he brings to life the central figures of this era, recounting the stories of devout warriors who often clashed in bloody confrontations. Occasionally, negotiations and peaceful exchanges enriched both cultures, Muslim and Christian alike. Phillips also draws parallels to the present, highlighting how the concept of the Crusade has regained significant relevance in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
