الحروب الصليبية.. الفكرة التي لا تزال قائمة حتى اليوم

The Crusades were the largest military campaign in the history of Western Europe. It began about a thousand years ago and continued for more than five hundred years. The Crusades united Europeans around the idea of ​​necessary and just war, an idea that still exists today. This book provides an insightful and informative look into the history of this movement that began with the conquest of Jerusalem. During the following centuries, European princes waged a long series of wars in the Middle East, as well as in the Iberian Peninsula and the Baltic Sea region. These campaigns, which were claimed to be religious in nature, established a stereotype of Islam as heretical and violent, but also gave rise to the first scientific studies in Europe on Islam as a religion. This book is the first comprehensive study from Scandinavia of all the Crusades of the Middle Ages. “An interesting narrative, rich in images, containing many personal descriptions and dramatic events.” (Niels F. Aurelius, Ostra Småland) “An exceptional introduction to these wars and the Europe they shaped.
