“Tyerman is a judicious and scholarly guide and readers will feel
that they are drinking the distillation of a lifetime’s work on its
subject”—James Barr, The Times
“Tyerman's new book offers a pleasing entry point. With 500 pages
of detailed text and an array of images of art and artefacts, it
combines the weight of an in-depth history with the flavouring of a
visual history to help bring the subject to life.”—History Revealed
(Book of the Month)
“The World of the Crusades has a mass of new insights, many
little-known anecdotes and a fresh approach to the subject”
—Jonathan Sumption, Spectator
“Tyerman's narrative is rich and detailed, interspersed with the
author's characteristically mordant humour”—Helen J. Nicholson,
Times Literary Supplement
“This book succeeds magnificently in giving a clear picture of the
Crusades as a whole, providing, at the same time, much fascinating
detail” —Alan Borg, Church Times
“Excellently written and incredibly comprehensive. It is clear from
the structure and careful pace of the book that Tyerman is an
expert on the crusades—he guides the reader skilfully through the
many complicating aspects of the topic without ever letting them
become confusing…This book has set a new bar for works on the
crusades and, without doubt, it is a high one.”—Flora Guijt,
Parergon (Journal of the Australian and New Zealand Association for
Medieval and Early Modern Studies)
