The Crusader Storm
A global history of the wars for the Middle East
Book •
Nicholas Morton describes 'The Crusader Storm' as a companion volume to his earlier work, aiming to retell the 12th-century Crusades from around ten different cultural viewpoints to provide a rounded, global history.
The book intends to reassess traditional narratives by highlighting the interactions among Latin Christians, Byzantines, Muslim polities and other regional actors.
Morton plans to explore political, religious and economic causes and consequences of crusading, situating campaigns within wider medieval Eurasian contexts.
He frames the work as an attempt to move beyond a single civilizational clash model by incorporating diverse sources and viewpoints.
The book was mentioned as forthcoming in the episode (noted as coming out in June).
