About this listen

The Crusades Explained Without Political or Religious Spin

If you want to understand what the Crusades were, why they happened, and why they still shape the modern world, this book gives you a clear and grounded explanation.

It covers Christian crusading, Islamic expansion, Jerusalem, holy war, and medieval power struggles without turning history into propaganda.

A Clear, Grounded History of the Crusades—Start to Finish

The Crusades are often reduced to slogans: religious war, holy land, Christian aggression, Islamic resistance.

But the real history is far more complex—and far more interesting.

This book strips away modern assumptions and walks you through the Crusades as they actually unfolded, from the rise of Islamic empires and the collapse of Byzantine defenses, to the bloody conquest of Jerusalem, the rise of Saladin, and the eventual failure of Crusader rule in the Holy Land.

Whether you’re a dedicated history listener, a student, or simply curious about one of the most misunderstood periods in history, this book offers a clear and structured guide to the Crusades.

If you want to finally understand what happened, why it happened, and why it still matters today, this book is an essential listener.
