Few attempts had been made to define the crusade before this book was first published in 1977. Since then, a number of historians have built on Jonathan RileySmiths original conclusions. Now in its fourth edition, this classic starting point for the study of the crusading movement has been updated to take into account the latest developments in the field.What Were the Crusades? elucidates key ideas and institutions which have been neglected in the pastdemonstrates, through the analysis of European campaigns, that the movement was not confined to expeditions launched to recover the Holy Land or to defend the Christian presence there and shows that it continued, in one form or another, into the eighteenth century and perhaps beyonddraws attention to the increasing interest of historians in the motivation of crusadersnow includes material on a child crusader and concludes with a short discussion of the current effects of aggressive PanIslamismfeatures a new map illustrating the different theatres of warOriginal in its conception, this essential guide is a contribution of major importance to crusading scholarship. In its clear and concise treatment of the issues, it remains an unequalled introduction to the subject for students and general readers alike.
