Description

The Orient in the Time of the Crusades: The pioneering work with many new documents. In his fascinating pioneering work, Heinz Halm immerses us in the medieval world of the multi-religious Orient. He tells the story of the Assassins and their legendary fortresses, describes life at the court of the Caliphs of Cairo and describes how the European Crusaders were perceived from the Orient. Halm is internationally regarded as one of the best experts on Shiite Islam, and his outstanding knowledge of sources in the Arabic, Persian and Latin languages takes us right into the middle of this foreign world.

Islamic terrorists spread fear and terror, Sunnis fight Shiites, and the West asserts its influence in Palestine: we are not talking about the present, but about the Middle East of the 11th and 12th centuries. We are not talking about the present, but about the Middle East of the 11th and 12th centuries, when the Shiite caliphs from the House of Fatimid influenced a wide area between North Africa and present-day Pakistan, the Assassin murder sect flourished and the "Franks" conquered the Holy Land.
