'a sophisticated, wide-ranging and thought-provoking analysis..a fine, learned and sensitive book.'
The Times Literary Supplement

 

'....probably the most important contribution to our understanding of the road to, and significance of 1204...'

Christopher Tyerman, The International History Review

 

'In all, if Angold's book is not the only work readers may want for the story of the Fourth Crusade, its insights and provocations can be ignored by no historian of medieval Christendom in the twelfth-fourteenth centuries.'

John W. Barker, Ecclesiastical History, Volume 57/1 - January 2006
