«¿Qué fueron las cruzadas?» is the historical essay by Jonathan Riley-Smith, published by Acantilado in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
The historian Jonathan Riley-Smith analyses what led the crusaders to undertake expeditions to the Holy Land. Against the idea that their sole aim was to recover these territories, he examines other possible motivations and places the phenomenon in its medieval context. An essay that serves as a gateway to the study of the crusades.

A reference work for readers interested in the history of the crusades and in the historical analysis of their motivations.
