Overview

What is the Crusade? How can we take into account all the views that have been expressed for more than a thousand years on a phenomenon that still haunts international relations today? Abbes Zouache draws on a variety of sources-Latin, Arabic, Armenian and Greek-which he treats without any prior intention of ranking them, and increases the number of encounters between Arab and European or American historiographies, which are generally unaware of each other. This approach allows him to propose a new history of the Crusade, which he shows to be a unique memorial phenomenon that, from the time of Pope Urban II's Clermont Appeal, has been a vehicle for far-reaching ideological and political issues.
