Reviews
Jonathan Riley-Smith has had a greater impact on the study of the crusades than any living scholar, and his command of every aspect of crusading, from the identity of participants to the history of the Latin kingdom of Jerusalem, is exceptional. Although there have been many general histories of the crusades, this book is something quite different: it has a wide geographical and chronological range and addresses fundamental issues, not least what we mean by 'crusade', with unusual authority and with characteristic enthusiasm. The publication of this new edition that takes into account much recent research is a landmark in the study of the crusades., "Jonathan Riley-Smith has had a greater impact on the study of the crusades than any living scholar, and his command of every aspect of crusading, from the identity of participants to the history of the Latin kingdom of Jerusalem, is exceptional.

    These volumes arrived early in great good condition. The seller was quick in response to my question and combined shipping for me. I have never seen such care taken in packing . This seller is clearly a bibliophile. These two books were an exceptional value, particularly considering their scarcity. Their overall appearance and quality were exactly as promised. I could not be happier and recommend this seller without question!

    I made a mistake with my shipping address and Ebay doesn't have a feature whereby to correct it. One must contact the seller instead and rectify it. In my case, this seller was easy to message and was prompt with the replies. The seller corrected the shipping address and the delivery was much faster than expected. A professional. Delighted with my purchase and how smoothly the initial error on my part was corrected.
