The Crusades: Conflict Between Christendom and Islam

About this book

This book sheds light on the first three Crusades (1097-1191) by introducing material from several medieval Syriac and Arabic sources and reconciling their accounts with those provided by Western sources. It presents the Crusades as an extension of the conflict between Christianity and Islam, which began with the Arabs' first incursions into Christian territory in the seventh century and continued with their conquest of the Iberian peninsula.
