Biography
Andrew Jotischky is Professor of Medieval History at Royal Holloway, University of London. His previous publications include The Crusades: A Beginner’s Guide (2015), A Hermit’s Cookbook: Monks, Food and Fasting in the Middle Ages (2011), The Penguin Historical Atlas of the Medieval World (2005), with Caroline Hull, and The Carmelites and Antiquity: Mendicants and their Pasts in the Middle Ages (2002).
For a fine and reasonably short introduction to the crusading movement, this cannot be bettered. In the second edition of his classic Crusading and the Crusader States, Andrew Jotischky effortlessly weaves together a detailed chronological narrative, along with thematic segments and up-to-date analysis – and, of course, it is all attractively written for a student audience. Highly recommended.
