Book Synopsis People of the First Crusade by : Michael Foss

Download or read book People of the First Crusade written by Michael Foss and published by Arcade Publishing. This book was released on 1997 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Foss tells the stories of these men and women of the First Crusade, often in their own words, bringing the time and events to life. Through these eyewitness accounts the cliches of history vanish, the distinctions between hero and villain blur: the Saracen is as base or noble, as brave or cruel, as the crusader. In that sense, the fateful clash between Christianity and Islam teaches us a lesson for our own time.
