From a New York Timesbestselling author, a stirring account of the siege of Acre in 1291, when the last Christian stronghold fell to the Muslim armyThe 1291 siege of Acre was the Alamo of the Christian Crusades the final bloody battle for the Holy Land. After a desperate six weeks, the beleaguered citadel surrendered to the Mamluks, bringing an end to Christendom's twohundred year adventure in the Middle East.In The Accursed Tower, Roger Crowley delivers a lively narrative of the leadup to the siege and a vivid, blowbyblow account of the climactic battle. Drawing on extant Arabic sources as well as untranslated Latin documents, he argues that Acre is notable for technical advances in military planning and siege warfare, and extraordinary for its individual heroism and savage slaughter. A gripping depiction of the crusader era told through its dramatic last moments, The Accursed Tower offers an essential new view on a crucial turning point in world history.Longlisted for the Historical Writers Association Nonfiction Crown
