This book convincingly demonstrates that his view runs "counter to the mainstream of today's scholarly interpretation--a general consensus built upon decades of research, reflection, and debate."

Summer 2016
As the editors make clear in their preface, Seven Myths of the Crusades is presented as an antidote to the "outpouring of exaggerations, misperceptions, errors, misrepresentations, and fabrications" that proliferate in popular discourse about the Crusades. In the course of seven chapters, each written by a specialist and supported by scholarly notes and fresh research, this short primer examines and exposes the many anachronisms around the Crusades.
