Crusades Bookstore Review
This is Part 1 of the two volume set, Western Europe and the Crusader States. Part two will be published some time in the next Millenium! Lots of great pictures, and a well-rounded study of all the military cultures throughout the crusading era.

From the Cover:
This lavishly illustrated volume details the armies of western and central European states and their client kingdoms in the Middle East in over three centuries of military development and almost continuous warfare--a decisive period when Christendom, Islam, and the Mongol world came into violent and sustained conflict, this definitive study pinpoints the evolving military sciences, technologies, and practices in an era of revolutionary change.

About the Author:
Dr. David Nicolle is a leading historian of Middle Eastern and Islamic military history. His other books include The Janissaries, The Mongol Warlords, and The Medieval Warfare Sourcebook.
