Soon after buying this I found out that Runciman is very anti-Crusader. Which in itself isn’t a problem but when you want a fair and honest account it is.

The second part in Steven Runciman's look at the Crusades, this book looks at the period covering the establishment of the Kingdom of Jerusalem under Baldwin I, until it's collapse at the hands of Saladin in 1187, so covering a period of around 87 years

This book covers many events in the Frankish East, from the growth of the Crusaders states of Edessa, Antioch, Tripoli and Jerusalem under the leadership of the various leaders from the first crusade. There was the disastrous crusades of 1101 where reinforcements for the east were destroyed as they passed through Anatolia, which harmed the myth of Frankish invincibility that had been established during the first crusade.. This was followed by their struggles to hold on to what they had achieved as the Muslim princes fought amongst themselves and the Crusaders, which eventually led to the rise of the Muslim leader Zengi who managed to destroy the County of Edessa, the first state established by the Crusaders. This triggered the Second Crusade led by the King of France and the Holy Roman Emperor, another disastrous expedition which harmed relations between Byzantium and the West and achieved nothing in the East, in fact if anything it futher unfied the Muslim Middle East, the last thing that the Crusaders needed in order to survive. We then make our way to the collapse of the Kingdom as Saladin rose to prominence in the 1180s and eventually defeated the kingdom.

The book is enjoyable, if not as good as the first book in the series. it is a detailed history of the period, lasting some 470 pages and is crammed with detail. it is primarily a military/political book, though there is a chapter devoted to the social and economic life in the crusader states .The book is at points a little hard to follow due to the many different names that come up and you forget who comes from where. The focus is generally on the Crusader states, however we di get to see whats going on from the various Muslin princes and the Byzantine perspective. Otherwise the book is still an enjoyable insightful read, a must for anyone wanting an excellent general history for the Crusader states.
