| Summary |
Professor Madden delivers fourteen lectures on the Crusades. For over 400 years, Christians marched to the Holy Land in various attempts to wrest the Holy Land from the Ottoman Turks. Their unremitting passion led to death, destruction, disorder, greed, avarice, and self-interest on all sides, and laid the foundation for suspicion among religious idealogues that persists in modern times. |
