The Last Crusaders: The Hundred-Year Battle for the Center of the World(ISBN=9781590204405) 下载 极速 rtf epub 在线 word txt pdf

The Crusades were the bridge between medieval and modern

history, between feudalism and colonialism. In many ways, the

little explored later Crusades were the most significant of them

all, for they made the crisis truly global. The Last

Crusaders is about the period?s last great conflict between

East and West, and the titanic contest between Habsburg-led

Christendom and the Ottoman Empire in the fifteenth and sixteenth

centuries. From the great naval campaigns and the ferocious

struggle to dominate the North African shore, the conflict spread

out along trade routes, consuming nations and cultures, destroying

dynasties, and spawning the first colonial empires in South America

and the Indian Ocean.

Acclaimed scholar of Islamic history and author Barnaby Rogerson

illuminates the Last Crusades in an accessible and skillful manner.

He shows how, to this day, the disputed borders of the Crusades era

stand as defining frontiers and dividing lines between languages,

nations, and religions. From Constantinople to Fez, from Rhodes to

Granada, The Last Crusaders is narrative history at its

richest and most compelling.

Praise for The Last Crusaders:

?This thoroughly readable book provides a vibrant

and well-organized account of this tumultuous, lesser-known period

of history. Highly recommended for both students and general

readers.? --Library Journal (Starred Review)

?Barnaby Rogerson paints a vivid canvas, sweeping in scope and full

of memorable detail... The author is especially good at narrating

in gripping, and often grisly, detail the great sieges and battles

that punctuated this struggle. The book is furnished with excellent

maps, a useful chronological chart, numerous illustrations, and a

very full bibliography. The writing is engaging and vivid, never

pedantic. Any history buff will find this book a pleasure.?

--ForeWord Review
