A major history of the Crusades that illuminates the strength and sophistication of the Western and Muslim armies.
During the Crusades, the Western and Muslim armies developed various highly sophisticated strategies of both attack and defense, which evolved during the course of the battles. In this ambitious new work, Steve Tibble draws on a wide range of Muslim texts and archaeological evidence as well as more commonly cited Western sources to analyze the respective armies' strategy, adaptation, evolution, and cultural diversity and show just how sophisticated the Crusader armies were even by today's standards.
In the first comprehensive account of the subject in sixty years, Tibble takes a fresh approach to Templars, Hospitallers, and other key Orders and makes the controversial proposition that the Crusades were driven as much by sedentary versus nomadic tribal concerns as by religious conflict. This fluently written, broad-ranging narrative provides a crucial missing piece in the study of the West's attempts to colonize the Middle East during the Middle Ages.
"Now Tibbletakes a new approach, one that adds to prior research and may well influence subsequent research. This book is a must read for medievalists." -R. J. Powell,
Choice
"A book that welcomes everyone, regardless of the reader's background in the subject.... Crusade historians like to complain that the general public knows nothing about their scholarship. It is books like this that will change that." -Thomas F. Madden,
Reading Religion
"
The Crusader Armiesoffers more than the obligatory corrections to the historical ignorance of our age. It is a full-scale reassessment of the warfare, armies, and enemies of the Western Crusades in the Middle East... readable, expertly sourced, and well organized." -Timothy D. Lusch,
Chronicles
"
The Crusader Armies: 1099-1187 is a worthy and sound contribution to the literature on its subject.... Steve Tibble paints a compelling picture of continual systemic warfare." -Laurence W. Marvin,
