The most significant contribution to rethinking the origins and course of the First Crusade for a generation.Mark Whittow, Times Literary SupplementFilled with Byzantine intrigue, in every sense this book is important, compellingly revisionist and impressive. It refocuses the familiar western story through the eyes of the emperor of the east and fills in the missing piece of the puzzle of the Crusades.Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of Jerusalem: The BiographyHighly readableits presentation of political machinations, compromises, and betrayals seems utterly convincing.Michael Dirda, Washington PostA dazzling book, perfectly combining deep scholarship and easy readability. The most important addition to Crusading literature since Steven Runciman.John Julius Norwich, author of ByzantiumFluent and dramaticFrankopan rightly places the Emperor Alexios at the heart of the First Crusade, skillfully adding a dimension frequently missing from our understanding of this seminal event.Jonathan Phillips, author of Holy WarriorsIn 1096, an expedition of extraordinary scale and ambition set off from western Europe on a mass pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Three years later, after a journey that saw acute hardship, the most severe dangers, and thousands of casualties, the knights of the First Crusade found themselves storming the fortifications and capturing the Holy City. Against all odds, the expedition had returned Jerusalem to Christian hands.In this groundbreaking book, Peter Frankopan paints a vivid picture of this infamous confrontation between Christianity and Islam. Basing his account on longignored eastern sources, he gives a provocative and highly original explanation of the worldchanging events that followed. The Vaticans victory cemented papal power, while Constantinople, the heart of the stillvital Byzantine Empire, never recovered. Frankopans revolutionary work shows how the taking of Jerusalem set the stage for western Europes dominance and shaped the modern world.
