In the spring of 1291, a huge Muslim army marched against the coastal city of Acre, which was defended by the Crusaders. Its favourable location had always made it an important hub for trade. During the Crusades, it became a strategic landing place for the Crusaders. When Acre fell on 18 May 1291, it was not only a military defeat, but also the end of the dream of a Christian-ruled Kingdom of Jerusalem. Roger Crowley tells the thrilling story of the epic battle for the city against the backdrop of the Crusades in the Holy Land.
