Crusaders : An Epic History of the Wars for the Holy Lands
Jones, Dan
From the bestselling author of The Templars. ’Voyages, battles, sieges
and slaughter: Dan Jones’s tumultuous and thrilling history of the
crusades is one of the best’ SUNDAY TIMES. ’A powerful story
brilliantly told.
Dan Jones writes with pace, wit and insight’
HELEN CASTOR. ’A fresh and vibrant account of a conflict that raged
across medieval centuries’ JONATHAN PHILLIPS. Dan Jones, best-selling
chronicler of the Middle Ages, turns his attention to the history of the
Crusades - the sequence of religious wars fought between the late
eleventh century and late medieval periods, in which armies from
European Christian states attempted to wrest the Holy Land from Islamic
rule, and which have left an enduring imprint on relations between the
Muslim world and the West.
From the preaching of the First
Crusade by Pope Urban II in 1095 to the loss of the last crusader
outpost in the Levant in 1302-03, and from the taking of Jerusalem from
the Fatimids in 1099 to the fall of Acre to the Mamluks in 1291,
Crusaders tells a tale soaked in Islamic, Christian and Jewish blood,
peopled by extraordinary characters, and characterised by both low
ambition and high principle. Dan Jones is a master of popular narrative
history, with the priceless ability to write page-turning narrative
history underpinned by authoritative scholarship. Never before has the
era of the Crusades been depicted in such bright and striking colours,
or their story told with such gusto.
PRAISE FOR THE TEMPLARS: ’A
fresh, muscular and compelling history of the ultimate
military-religious crusading order, combining sensible scholarship with
narrative swagger’ SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE. ’Dan Jones has created a
gripping page-turner out of the dramatic history of the Templars’
PHILIPPA GREGORY. ’The story of the Templars, the ultimate holy
warriors, is an extraordinary saga of fanaticism, bravery, treachery and
betrayal, and in Dan Jones they have a worthy chronicler.
The
Templars is a wonderful book!’ BERNARD CORNWELL. ’Told with all Jones’s
usual verve and panache, this is a dramatic and gripping tale of courage
and stupidity, faith and betrayal’ MAIL ON SUNDAY. ’This is another
triumphant tale from a historian who writes as addictively as any
page-turning novelist’ OBSERVER.
’The Templars is exhilarating,
epic, sword-swinging history’ TLS. ’Jones carries the Templars through
the crusades with clarity and verve. This is unabashed narrative
history, fast-paced and full of incident ... Jones tells their story extremely well’ SUNDAY TIMES.
