The Crusades shook the world. But why did they happen? Their origins are revealed in a new light. As part of a medieval world war that stretched from Asia to Europe. At its centre was an ancient empire - Byzantium. Told for the first time as a single, linked narrative are three great events that changed history: the fall of Byzantium in the eleventh century, the epic campaign of the First Crusade and the origins of modern Turkey. Nick Holmes not only presents the First Crusade in a wider global context but he also puts forwards new interpretations of the original sources, suggesting that its success was in fact largely accidental, and that the central role of Byzantium in the Crusades has been underestimated.

Much more than a fascinating lecture, it's a trip back in time to delve into the different peoples warring in the area of Byzantium in the Eastern Roman Empire until Byzantium collapsed in the eleventh century. It's obviously well researched but not dry or lifeless. It is helpful to have maps on hand, even if they are modern.
Narrator Martin Carroll has not only the perfect natural voice, but a gift for cadencing to add to appreciation of the text.
