In the late eleventh century, tens of thousands of peopleâ"knights and peasants, men and women, priests and lordsâ"set out on a long and arduous journey to retake the holy city of Jerusalem. They traveled thousands of miles across difficult terrain and into hostile territory. How did they accomplish this remarkable task? How did they move through such an ever-changing and diverse landscape? Logistics of the First Crusade: Acquiring Supplies amid Chaos looks at the plans that they made and the methods they implemented to sustain themselves on this remarkable expedition in an attempt to understand how they persisted on the First Crusade. The crusaders sought to implement order as they traveled, moving with intent and adapting when confronted with hardship. In the end, they succeeded largely through their logistical perseverance.

Industry Reviews

This thoroughly researched and richly detailed study of supplying the First Crusade makes two important contributions. It demonstrates firstly that the crusaders were capable, thoughtful, effective, judicious, and-if necessary-ruthless in supplying themselves. Secondly, the First Crusade's logistical success reveals more skillful leadership than previous scholarship has usually portrayed. -- Alex Roland, Duke University
