In this highly original and enjoyable new book, Christopher Tyerman focuses on something obvious but overlooked: the massive, all-encompassing and hugely costly business of actually preparing a crusade. The efforts of many thousands of men and women, who left their lands and families in Western Europe, and marched off to a highly uncertain future in the Holy Land and elsewhere, have never been sufficiently understood. Their actions raise a host of compelling questions about the nature of medieval society. How to Plan a Crusade is fascinating on diplomacy, communications, propaganda, the use of mass media, medical care, equipment, voyages, money, weapons, credit, wills, ransoms, animals, and the power of prayer. It brings to life an extraordinary era in a novel and surprising way. -- Inside jacke flap. 650 0 $a Crusades. 650 0 $a Military history, Medieval. 650 0 $a Military art and science $x History $y Medieval, 500-1500. 648 7 $a 500-1500 $2 fast 648 7 $a Medeltiden $2 sao 776 08 $i Ebook version $z 9780141970158 941 $a 3 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214034957.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019011210.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170304032013.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AAD42A6EA18B11E6AED112AEDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
