Specificatii
God's War offers a sweeping new vision of one of history's most
astounding events: the Crusades. From 1096 to 1500, European
Christians fought to recreate the Middle East, Muslim Spain, and
the pagan Baltic in the image of their God. The Crusades are
perhaps both the most familiar and most misunderstood phenomena of
the medieval world, and here Christopher Tyerman seeks to recreate,
from the ground up, the centuries of violence committed as an act
of religious devotion. The result is a stunning reinterpretation of
the Crusades, revealed as both bloody political acts and a
manifestation of a growing Christian communal identity. Tyerman
uncovers a system of belief bound by aggression, paranoia, and
wishful thinking, and a culture founded on war as an expression of
worship, social discipline, and Christian charity. This astonishing
historical narrative is imbued with figures that have become
legends--Saladin, Richard the Lionheart, Philip Augustus. But
Tyerman also delves beyond these leaders to examine the thousands
and thousands of Christian men--from Knights Templars to
mercenaries to peasants--who, in the name of their Savior,
abandoned their homes to conquer distant and alien lands, as well
as the countless people who defended their soil and eventually
turned these invaders back. With bold analysis, Tyerman explicates
the contradictory mix of genuine piety, military ferocity, and
plain greed that motivated generations of Crusaders. He also offers
unique insight into the maturation of a militant Christianity that
defined Europe's identity and that has forever influenced the
cyclical antagonisms between the Christian and Muslim worlds.
Drawing on all of the most recent scholarship, and told with great
verve and authority, God's War is the definitive account of a
fascinating and horrifying story that continues to haunt our
contemporary world.
