      abstract = {Publisher description: Christopher Tyerman examines the  many military operations between 1095 and 1500 that fall  under the heading of Wars of the Cross. Beginning with Pope  Urban II's dramatic appeal in 1095, Tyerman ranges from the  First Crusade--a campaign unrivalled in impact--to the  massive expedition lead by Frederick Barbarossa (which  ended suddenly when he drowned crossing a river), to the  crusade that pitted King Richard I of England against  Saladin. Tyerman also discusses lesser expeditions,  including the Peasants', Children's, and Shepherds'  Crusades. Throughout the book, he clarifies issues of  colonialism, cultural exchange, economic exploitation, and  the relationship between past and present.},
