The Crusades and the Near East: Cultural Histories - 9780415580410

The crusades are often seen as epitomising a period when hostility between Christian West and the Muslim Near East reached an all time high. This volume explores how the Holy Wars led on the one hand to a reinforcement of the beliefs and identities of each side, but on the other to a growing level of cultural exchange and interaction.
