Crusading and the Crusader States
Recovering the Past
Series Editors: Edward Acton and Eric Evans
Recovering the Past aims to present both students and the general reader with authoritative interpretations of major historical topics. Drawing on the results of recent research by the author and others, the volumes both explain the importance of the themes they address and explore how historians have come to radically different conclusions about key issues in past politics, society and cultures. The lifeblood of history courses around controversy and reinterpretation; these accessibly written volumes help to explain why. Readers can use them for readable accounts and for the stimulus of engagement with lively debate.
