About this title

About the Author:

Sir Steven Runciman (1903-2000) was one of the greatest British historians. He drastically recast how we think about both the Crusades and the history of Byzantium. His major works include The Sicilian Vespers (1958), The Great Church in Captivity (1968), Byzantine Style and Civilization (1975) and Mistra (1980).

Synopsis:

In this first volume of three, Runciman recounts the capture of Jerusalem by Christian knights. The other two volumes cover the fall of the Holy City to Saladin and the decline of the crusading movement.
