Exhaustive as it is exhausting. Short it may be but long on details. More of a reference book than a narrative, trying to read it straight through is confusing but never dull. Chapters are more like articles than chronologies.

Covers all crusades, not just the holy land crusades that most books focus on or readers think of as “The Crusades.” Ever heard of the crusade against the Wents? You understand what I mean then.

No footnotes and the unnecessary constant reference to “more on this below” loses a star combined. Otherwise, everything you need to know is concisely here.

“The aim of Christianity is not to fill the earth, but to fill heaven. Why should one worry if the number of Christians is lessened in the world by deaths endured for God? By this kind of death people make their way to heaven who perhaps would never reach it by another road.” - Humbert of Romans

I’m not 100% sure about this book. I enjoyed it, but coming off of Dan Jones’ two books about the topic - [b:The Templars: The Rise and Spectacular Fall of God's Holy Warriors|34312336|The Templars The Rise and Spectacular Fall of God's Holy Warriors|Dan Jones|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1487152697l/34312336._SY75_.jpg|55368486] and [b:Crusaders: The Epic History of the Wars for the Holy Lands|43899574|Crusaders The Epic History of the Wars for the Holy Lands|Dan Jones|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1550227193l/43899574._SY75_.jpg|68307257] - made a lot of this information felt reiterated. I hate comparing one book to other books about the topic, but Dan Jones’ books are more recent and take a unique outlook on the topic. I really do enjoy the topic, but this book didn’t vibe with me. I feel this way mainly because Riley-Smith didn’t seem to focus on one thing, yet the Crusades are too big a topic to compile in a 300-ish page book.… (meer)
