Doré's Illustrations of the Crusades

by Gustave Doré

Book Overview

Long regarded as the standard history of the subject, Fran ois Michaud's History of the Crusades, published in 1877, recorded over four centuries of passionate, bloody wars that brought the countries -- and cultures -- of Asia and Europe into conflict with one another.
