Reviews
His deeply researched study is dedicated to exploring the relationship between human reason and religious war in all its aspects--justification, propaganda, recruitment, finance, logistics--to show us how 'reason made religious war possible.', Serious and scholarly, the synthesis of decades of work on difficult, fragmented sources. An impressive and lively book, laced with wry asides and enough surprising details to pique the general reader., An impressive synthesis of a complicated subject, presented in elegant, readable prose. Not many historians could have done it., Fascinating not just for what it has to tell us about the Crusades, but for the mirror it holds up to today's religious extremism., A quirky niche book that descends into obscure, even humdrum areas and makes them interesting. In the right hands, such a book can be a pleasure. This is the case with How to Plan a Crusade., Mining details on logistics 800 years ago is Tyerman's forte, and he throws them on to the page like chaff from a trebuchet. It is comprehensive, laying down a great skein of fact where there was only supposition (much of it false). And, as the West gears up for the crusade against Islamic State, it is horribly timely., By concentrating on the 'prosaic methods' of crusading rather than on the drama of the campaigns, as historians have traditionally done, Crusades expert Tyerman manages to demythologize the process. Tyerman provides a compelling, vivid sense of a lively, pragmatic, driven, and highly organized society. A fresh way to envision the Medieval era., A real achievement. Tyerman is a virtuoso with the English language. Filled to the brim with rich descriptions of the intricate planning and preparations that Europeans conducted before their Crusades. There are few scholars today who could match [Tyerman's] breadth of knowledge regarding the Crusades. Tyerman energetically (and rightly) argues that medieval people were just as rational as modern people.
Synopsis
The story of the wars and conquests initiated by the First Crusade and its successors is itself so compelling that most accounts move quickly from describing the Pope's calls to arms to the battlefield. In this highly original and enjoyable new book, Christopher Tyerman focuses on something obvious but overlooked: the massive, all-encompassing, and hugely costly business of actually preparing a crusade. The efforts of many thousands of men and women, who left their lands and families in Western Europe, and marched off to a highly uncertain future in the Holy Land and elsewhere have never been sufficiently understood. Their actions raise a host of compelling questions about the nature of medieval society.How to Plan a Crusade is remarkably illuminating on the diplomacy, communications, propaganda, use of mass media, medical care, equipment, voyages, money, weapons, wills, ransoms, animals, and the power of prayer during this dynamic era. It brings to life an extraordinary period of history in a new and surprising way., A spirited and sweeping account of how the crusades really worked--and a revolutionary attempt to rethink how we understand the Middle Ages., How to Plan a Crusade is remarkably illuminating on the diplomacy, communications, propaganda, use of mass media, medical care, equipment, voyages, money, weapons, wills, ransoms, animals, and the power of prayer during this dynamic era. It brings to life an extraordinary period of history in a new and surprising way.
