Summary "The Story of the Crusades" by E. M. Wilmot-Buxton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the complex and tumultuous era of the Crusades, spanning approximately two centuries of religious conflicts between Christianity and Islam. The narrative aims to explore not only the military operations but also the socio-political influences and motivations that spurred these knightly ventures into the East, emphasizing the characters and events that defined this unique chapter in history. The opening of the text presents a poignant introduction to the individual who sparked one of the most significant religious revolutions, the Prophet Mohammed, and outlines the context of his rise amid a landscape of spiritual conflict. It highlights the dire conditions for Christians during the Muslim conquests of the Holy Land and the subsequent impetus for the Crusades, driven by zeal and the quest to reclaim sacred territories. The text further hints at the shifting tides of culture and belief that characterized this time, setting the stage for the exploration of chivalry, adventure, and the heroic figures involved in the Crusades that would unfold in later chapters.
