Among them is a lowly vagabond Briton, rescued from damnation by a pious knight who burns with zealous fire for their sacred undertaking. And so they set sail, along with dedicated companions--and with a beautiful, mysterious Arab \"princess\" whom the vagabond liberates from a brutish merchant. But the divine light guiding their \"righteous\" campaign soon darkens as the mission sinks ever deeper into catastrophe, disgrace, and moral turpitude--as Christians murder Christians in the Adriatic port city of Zara, tragic events are set in motion that will ultimately lead to the shocking and shameful fall of Constantinople.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImpeccably researched and beautifully told, Nicole Galland's \u003cem\u003eCrossed\u003c\/em\u003e is a stunning tale of the disastrous Fourth Crusade--and of the hopeful, brave, and driven who were caught up in and irrevocably changed by a corrupted cause and a furious battle beyond their comprehension or control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William Morrow \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060841805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.01h x 5.77w x 1.16d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2007 pg. 1258\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/24\/2007 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2008 pg. 54 - Excellent\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nicole Galland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44033745354933,"sku":"9780060841805","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_3565516c-83c8-4296-9ef6-7b3242a1678b.jpg?v=1713885531","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/crossed-9780060841805","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
