224 Seiten, Sprache: Englisch Hardcover Neu Fighting between Christians and Muslims in the medieval period is often seen in the narrow context of the battle for the Holy Land. Other points of conflict tend to be ignored. But, as David Nicolle's thought-provoking survey shows, the religions clashed across the medieval world - in the Mediterranean and the Iberian peninsula, in the Near East, in Central Asia, India, the Balkans, Anatolia, Russia, the Baltic and Africa. Over 500 years, the struggle in each theatre of conflict had its own character - methods of warfare differed and developed in different ways and were influenced by local traditions and circumstances. And these campaigns were not waged solely against Christian or Islamic enemies, but against pagan, non-Christian or non-Islamic peoples. As he tells the story of Crusade and Jihad, and describes the organization and tactics of the armies involved, David Nicolle opens up a new understanding of the phenomenon of holy war. Dit is een Engelstalig boek. Gevechten tussen christenen en moslims in de middeleeuwse periode worden vaak gezien als strijd om het Heilige Land. Andere punten van conflict worden vaak genegeerd. Maar, zoals blijkt uit David Nicolle's enquête, botsten de religies in de middeleeuwse wereld vaker - in het Middellandse-Zeegebied en het Iberisch schiereiland, in het Nabije Oosten, in Centraal-Azië, India, de Balkan, Azië, Rusland, de Oostzee en Afrika. Nicolle vertelt het verhaal van de kruistocht en Jihad en beschrijft de organisatie en de tactieken van de betrokken legers. David Nicolle suggereert in dit boek een nieuw begrip van het verschijnsel de Heilige oorlog. Versand D: 4,95 EUR , [PU:Barnsley, Pen & Sword]<
