Thus began the holy wars that would focus the power of Europe against a common enemy and become the stuff of romantic legend. In reality the Crusades were a series of rabidly savage conflicts in the name of piety. And, as Armstrong demonstrates in this fascinating book, their legacy of religious violence continues today in the Middle East, where the age-old conflict of Christians, Jews, and Muslims persists.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Anchor Books","offers":[{"title":"Holy War: The Crusades and Their Impact on Today's World | Karen Armstrong | Paperback | 9780385721400 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks D 1760363","offer_id":49199084830872,"sku":"1760363","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71U22FeeV2L.jpg?v=1780694688","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/holy-war-the-crusades-and-their-impact-on-todays-world","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
