Praise for the first edition:Lucid, interesting, and lively. It certainly deserves to be listed in the bibliography for all undergraduate and school courses on the Crusades., Exactly the right amount of information in just enough detail to hold the students' attention without overwhelming them., I love this book. It is clearly and artfully written, user-friendly, and well-organized, with excellent maps and an up-to-date suggested readings and sources in translation section., Praise for the first edition:A brilliant text and handbook for students, teachers, and all readers taking interest in the history of the Crusades., Praise for the first edition:Readers will owe Thomas Madden warm thanks for so clear an introductory account of so complex a phenomenon as a crusade., Praise for the first edition:In little more than 200 pages, in crystal-clear and economical prose, Madden does a superb job of exposition. As an introduction to the vast literature of the crusades, this is a jewel of a book. It has all one needs to understand the epic nature of the various mobilizations and invasions, who the important players were and how they operated, and why what was for centuries romanticized as chivalrous has today become odious., Thomas Madden brings fresh understanding to these blemished, but at heart noble, efforts to defend the core of medieval European culture., Praise for the first edition:Professor Madden has written a strong narrative of the crusades, focusing on the crusades to the East and on the major (or numbered) crusades., Praise for the first edition:It is clear handling of a complex subject that lets the facts speak for themselves. The book, moreover, lives up to its title. It is concise, but not overly simplified. It would serve as a fine text for undergraduate history students., Praise for the first edition:A gripping narrative approach of the medieval social, economic, religious, and intellectual environments that gave birth to the Crusades and nurtured them for centuries., Madden's small, accessible book is comprehensive, judicious, and fair. It should be required reading for anyone presuming to discuss crusading, crusaders, and the Crusades., Praise for the first edition: Readers will be pleased that Thomas Madden has hit just the right note in his sweeping but concise account of the crusades. While he follows the development of crusading down to the period of the Protestant Reformation, and offers, in an afterword, speculations about the modern impact of the medieval crusade, he never fails to interest and inform. His prose is lucid. And to give the graphic point, he offers the reader fourteen clearly produced maps depicting the Mediterranean world about A.D. 1000, the routes of the main crusades, and the crusade plan of Maximilian I in 1518. The usefulness of these is reinforced by an index, a glossary, mainly of Islamic terms, a list of translated sources, and a select bibliography..., Praise for the first edition:Much praise is due to the author for giving us such a clear, concise picture of an ever-changing area of scholarship., Praise for the first edition: This is a wonderful piece of work that will greatly add to the sum of crusade historiography. . . . It is brilliantly executed. . . . Madden's ability as a writer of gripping narrative shines through. This is a work that students will love, largely because it does not read like a textbook....

Synopsis
In this sweeping yet crisp history, the author offers a brilliant and compelling narrative of the Crusades and their contemporary relevance., How have the crusades contributed to Islamist rage and terrorism today?

In this sweeping yet crisp history, Thomas Madden offers a brilliant and compelling narrative of the crusades and their contemporary relevance.
