The Later Crusades 1274-1580

The expulsion of the Christians from the Holy Land in 1291 was far from being the end of the crusading movement. Norman Housley's lucid and accessible book is the first detailed study of the later crusades, illuminating the massive range and energy of the movement and revealing the factors that led to its eventual failure. Based on the most recent research, it will be an invaluable textbook for students of the crusades.
