{"product_id":"9781399818728","title":"The Crusader Storm","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom their foundation in 1097 to Saladin's conquest of Jerusalem almost a century later, the Crusader States transformed the Middle Eastern world. In an era shaped by many conflicts, this was not simply a war between Christianity and Islam, but an epic contest among multiple rival empires, dynasties and cultures. 'The Crusader Storm' unfolds through a kaleidoscope of perspectives: a Byzantine renegade, a crusader princess, a Turkish matriarch, a young Arab nobleman, a Syriac archbishop, Saladin's leading commander and the vizier of Egypt. Between them, information, technologies and ideas - as well as weapons - crossed borders at astonishing speed as their societies fought, allied and traded. Their entangled fates reshaped not only the Middle East, but the medieval world itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicholas Morton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56945143054714,"sku":"9781399818728","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9781399818728.jpg?v=1780581155","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781399818728","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
