FIGHTING FOR THE FAITH: The Many Fronts of Crusade & Jihad, 1000-1500 AD Following a history of the rise of Christian military power, the book then discusses the arc of conflict across the medieval world and how over the centuries, Christian and Muslim armies attempted to conquer, subjugate, or influence much of the known world while avoiding fighting each other as often as actually offering military engagement. This fascinating history debunks many popular conceptions about medieval warfare. The book also includes detailed descriptions of the arms market, armor manufacture for both soldiers and animals, geographical differences in fortifications and siege warfare, the organization and tactics of the armies involved, and customs in victory and defeat. Includes important but overlooked religious groups in its geographical scope. $30.00 USD
