Reseñas en medios

"In addition to retaining the excellent text, the book contains a wealth of beautiful illustrations, including some not found in the original books. Anyone with an interest in this period of fortification who has not already bought all the paperback volumes would be well advised to purchase this book." -Bolling Smith, The Coastal Defense Journal (March 2009)

"The Crusades that moved across the Middle East left behind fortresses and fortifications, and Crusader Castles in the Holy Land considers these fortifications, surveying their history, importance on all sides, and existing fortifications throughout the Middle East, Greece, the Aegean and Cyprus. Fine photos in black and white and color alike blend with the latest research and excavation evidence to make for a fine pick for both history and military libraries focusing on Crusade-era events." -California Bookwatch (February 2009)

"Once again, Osprey Publishing has produced a book filled with magnificent photographs, meticulous artwork, and detailed maps that focus on the beautiful castles constructed by the Crusaders as they marched across the Holy Land in their ultimately foiled attempt to spread Christianity through the Middle East." Military Heritage (August 2009)

"As with other Osprey publications, this book would not be an Osprey publication without an excellent assortment of contemporary photographs of the various castles and full-color illustrations. Many of the castles are brought back to their former glory through these illustrations – they help you to better understand the magnificence of the castles. This book is a must-have for any enthusiast of the Crusader years in the Holy Land and beyond." -Jeff Grim, www.collectedmiscellany.com (May 2009)

"...a fascinating read and if you missed the earlier editions from which this material was taken, it is a great value for your money. In all a book I know you will enjoy reading as much as did I." -Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com (December 2008)

Descripción:
London: Osprey. 2008. First thus.. Hardcover. 1846033497 . With many illustrations in colour and black & white, a fine copy in a fine dustjacket. The bloody crusades that swept across the Middle East in medieval times left their mark on the landscape, where fortifications which once acted as bastions of power for the beleaguered Crusader States now cast their ruined shadows over the earth. These fortifications varied considerably in size, architecture and function from the mighty Crac de Chevaliers, the headquarters of the Knights Hospitaller in Syria to smaller fortified dwellings and religious centers. With almost constant warfare between Crusaders and Saracens they were vitally important both as centers of defense and bases for the launch of offensive operations. This book is a beautifully illustrated guide to the development, construction, purpose and history of these fortifications not only in the Middle East (1097 & 1302) but also in Greece, the Aegean and Cyprus (1191 &… Leer más
