The Crusades - The World Around Us #W16

Summary

The year was 1095 AD. For more than 400 years, Muslims ruled Palestine in the Middle East. Over in Europe, Christians felt they should rule Palestine and wanted the Muslims driven from the holy city of Jerusalem. A restless Europe reached the eve of one of man's greatest adventures, and with that, the First Crusade was launched. Beautifully illustrated, this graphic novel captures the imagination of readers of all ages and inspires a love of history and reading. A must-have classic for your digital library!
