Meravigliosamente scritto e caratteristicamente brillante' Peter Frankopan, autore di The Silk Roads 'Elegante, leggibile... una sintesi impressionante... Non molti storici avrebbero potuto farlo' - Jonathan Sumption, Spectator 'Il libro di Tyerman è affascinante non solo per ciò che ha da dirci sulle Crociate, ma anche per lo specchio che offre all'estremismo religioso odierno' - Tom Holland, Spectator Migliaia di persone lasciarono le loro terre d'origine nel Medioevo per combattere guerre all'estero. Ma come si sono svolte realmente le Crociate? Dalla propaganda di reclutamento alla raccolta di denaro, dalle navi alle macchine d'assedio, dalla medicina al potere della preghiera, questa vivida e sorprendente storia mostra la guerra santa (e la società medievale) sotto una nuova luce.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A lively and compelling account of how the crusades really worked, and a revolutionary attempt to rethink the Middle AgesIn this highly original and enjoyable book, Christopher Tyerman focuses on 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. 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. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9780241954652
