Die Kreuzz�ge

Rate this book
Die Kreuzzüge prägten Kultur und Erfahrungswelt des Mittelalters ganz entscheidend. Neben den Kreuzzügen in das Heilige Land berücksichtigt Nikolas Jasperts klares Einführungswerk ebenso die Kriege gegen Andersgläubige auf der Iberischen Halbinsel oder im Ostseeraum wie auch gegen ›innere Feinde‹ der Christenheit. Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bilden die geistlichen Ritterorden, die lange die Geschichte Europas geprägt haben. Durch die breite Anlage des Themas und den systematisch-chronologischen Zugriff gelingt es dem Autor, die Kreuzzüge in das allgemeine Phänomen ›europäische Expansion‹ einzubetten.

Could not finish the book due to its twisted organization; it presents, shortly, the entire period of the crusades from a military perspective and then in later chapters shed lights on internal affairs of Muslim, Christians and Jews. A narration style that I find disruptive as it does not convey the “bigger picture” to the reader.

This book presented a balanced, modern view of an interesting time in history. The book alternated between being too dry and doing a great job in dispelling any romantic notion of the crusades.
