- Summary
- The Fourth Crusade comprised an attack on the Christian city of Zadar in modern Croatia before the Crusaders assaulted the Byzantine capital of Constantinople, which was one of the most wealthy and cosmopolitan centres of the medieval world. The city was eventually sacked, with vast quantities of booty being shipped to Western Europe while the short-lived Latin Empire of Romania emerged from its ruins. This book details the command strategies, tactics and battle experiences of the opposing forces throughout the crucial stages of the campaign.--
