About This Item
New York: Anchor Books, May 2002. Trade Paperback. First Paperback Edition / full number line. Very Good. Interior unmarked. Slight spine tilt. Bump at spine head. Edgewear. Not from a library. No remainder mark. 410 pages.
A rich and engaging account of the Third Crusade (1187-1192), a conflict that would shape world history for centuries and which can still be felt in the Middle East and throughout the world today. The author narrates the epic battle that left Jerusalem in Muslim hands until the twentieth century, bringing an objective perspective to the gallantry, greed, and religious fervor that fueled the bloody clash between Christians and Muslims. The book provides compelling portraits of Saladin, the wise and highly cultured leader who created a united empire, and Richard the Lionheart, the romantic personification of chivalry who emerges here in his full complexity and contradictions.
