God's Battalions: The Case for the Crusades

An excellent history of the Crusades with 2 points of note: 1) Stark shows how the modern Islamic obsession with the Crusades is really a byproduct of the weakness of the Ottoman Empire in the late 19th and 20th century; 2) he puts the sack of Constantinople by the Crusaders in perspective: each crusading army had been betrayed by the Byzantines.
