Book Reviews of The Crusades: The World's Debate

Book Review: A superb analysis of the 1st crusade.
Summary: 5 Stars

Belloc published this book in 1937, when he was in his late 60s. He had obviously mastered a great wealth of historical material, and wrote clearly and succinctly. His fundamental point was that the first crusade had no clear strategy other than to recapture Jerusalem for Christendom, and failed to see the overarching strategic importance of taking and holding Damascus. Once this was realized, the bulk of the crusaders had returned to Europe and the manpower to accomplish it was no longer available. This led to the crucial defeat at Hattin in 1187, and the following crusades failed to improve the situation with efforts too little, too late. Careful estimates of armed strength in the first crusade, and penetrating analysis of events add to the splendid character of a first-rate work of historical analysis.
