The first volume of the second edition of The Crusades looks at the first half (1095-1193) of the crusades (1095-1291). It begins with an overall outline of the present narrative of the subject (by Western authors principally). It then explains the main reasons for the crusades. Following this, the book chronicles events on the ground over the period cited. The work relies on both Muslim and Christian sources, old and new, primary and secondary. There are also two maps and pictures (in the electronic version) by the great 19th century French artist: Gustave Dore.
