The Assault on Jerusalem

This Penguin 70 is a series of excerpts from Steven Runciman's [b:A History of the Crusades, Vol. I: The First Crusade and the Foundations of the Kingdom of Jerusalem 428519 A History of the Crusades, Vol. I The First Crusade and the Foundations of the Kingdom of Jerusalem Steven Runciman https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1387741867s/428519.jpg 2087821], and picks up on 4 events in the First Crusade.For me, this was a little dry and for a person with little prior knowledge, there were a lot of names (which mean very little) mentioned regularly. Apart from that, the four events covered worked pretty well. I am certainly not looking to read the three volume work this is sourced from.2.5 stars, rounded to 3 stars from me.
