Crusading warfare, 1097-1193

the long version

This text is a revised version of R.C. Small's classic account of the strategic and cultural achievements of a society structured and organized to conduct war. This is an important book for several reasons. It deals with a subject that frankly, not many people have a deep knowledge of. It treats warfare as it should amongst the backdrop of contextualizing a society within the continuous warfare that went on for almost a century. This is not popular history but a scholarly analysis.
