66. Discussing 'Crusader Storm' with Dr Nicholas Morton

On this episode, Mark welcomes back Dr Nicholas Morton to the syndicate to talk more on the Crusades in the Middle East predominantly in the 12th Century. Discussing the central historical elements of his new book 'The Crusader Storm; A Global History of the Wars For The Middle East', which explores these conflicts from 10 different perspectives. A fascinating subject, the manner in which horse archers make war operated against crusader tactics was most interesting to discuss. Talking Mark through the history of the Crusades, Dr Morton expertly guides this complex history of differing cultures during the pod to make sense of the myriad of view points that resulted in the Crusades.From the macro to the micro topics of history, The History Syndicate Podcast is the forum for all with a common interest in all things history.The views expressed are those of the author and guest.
