About This Item
Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press, 2004 Book. As New. Hardcover. 4th Edition. Octavo. 8vo. xvi, 408 pp, maps. Fourth Edition, 2004. Not Price Clipped. Pristine, no wear. No markings, tight binding, clean, white and bright. 6.5" x 9.5". White half-cloth with red paper-covered boards, and gilt lettering to spine. Illustrated dj in acetate protector. "On the last Tuesday of November 1095, Pope Urban II delivered an electrifying speech that launched the First Crusade. His words set Christendom afire. Some 100,000 men, from knights to paupers, took up the call -- the largest mobilization of manpower since the fall of the Roman Empire. But when a hardened core finally reached Jerusalem in 1099 they unleashed an unholy wave of brutality, slaughtering thousands of Muslims -- men, women, and children -- all in the name of Christianity. The First Crusade marked a watershed in relations between Islam and the West, a conflict that set these two world religions on a course toward deep-seated animosity and enduring enmity.".
