Christopher Tyerman

The Debate on the Crusades, 1099-2010

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first book-length study to chart how the dramatic events of 30 generations ago have been understood, shaped and manipulated by writers in successive periods since and to show how modern images of the crusades are as much a product of our own and intervening times as of the bloody wars of the cross themselves. -- .
