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.
