Recenzii
An
impressive
synthesis
of
a
complicated
subject,
presented
in
elegant,
readable
prose.
Not
many
historians
could
have
done
it
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.'
Mining details on victualing and 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 of 2015-16 against Islamic State, it is horribly timely.
Tyerman's book is 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
How to Plan a Crusadeis serious and scholarly, the synthesis of decades of work on difficult, fragmented sources. Administrative records weren't routinely kept until around 1300, which makes Tyerman's task harder and more impressive...this is also a lively book, laced with wry asides and enough surprising details to pique the general reader.
There is a deeper story here about the rise in Britain of both class structure and bureaucracy...
Wonderfully written and characteristically brilliant account of the logistics (and motivations) that underpinned the Crusades
