Description

The first volume of Steven Runciman's classic, highly influential trilogy on the history of the Crusades.

With intensity and drama, the first volume of the trilogy tells the story of the First Crusade - from its unlikely beginnings as a pilgrimage to the horrors of the siege of Jerusalem and the creation of new territories on the edge of the eastern Mediterranean.

"Without doubt one of the main achievements of modern historical writing" - The New York Times.

"The historian whose enchanting works have transformed our understanding of Byzantium, the medieval church, and the crusades" - Guardian.
