Acclaim for The Northern Crusades:
This interesting, well-written book fills a major gap in historians
literature dealing with the late Middle Ages in northern Europe & a
worthy introduction to a complex area of history James Brundage in
the Journal of Ecclesiastical History
The authors many insights give the book an importance far
beyond the circle for which it was intended For Mr Christiansen
history remains an art as well as a science Peter King in
the Slavonic Review
His scholarship is wide, honest and exact Grounded in rigorous
historical observation, not ideological fervour, military Christianity is
explained with a brilliance which leaves the reader at once dazzled
and sickened Valuable, learned and attractively written
