The Second Crusade (1145-49) was an unprecedented attempt to expand the borders of Christianity in the Holy Land, the Baltic, and the Iberian peninsula. This wide-ranging collection offers a series of original interpretations of new and partially explored evidence of the crusade. The essays examine the planning, execution, and consequences of the crusade for Western Europe, the Crusader States of the Holy Land, and the Muslim Near East.

This review is from: The Second Crusade: Scope and Consequences (Paperback)
The Second Crusade was the only crusade in which i couldnt find that much information until i found this book.The book is informative and i especially like when the authors describe the sequence of events that led to the second crusade.Their explanations of the Crusade of Portugal and North Europe were partucularly interesting.However the book lacks that "narrative kick"( sorry i just invented that phrase) that makes the story of the Crusade so interesting.The account is a little dry and at times is a little dragging.Also the book lacked pictures.In my opinion pictures add a visual aid that makes the narrative more interesting.
