Covering the neglected topic of the relations of the Crusader states with their neighbours, both Christian (the Byzantines) and especially, Islamic - the rulers of Damascus, Aleppo, Baghdad, Cairo and so on - this text contributes to the fashionable approach of seeing the Crusades as a prime example of early European colonialism, and investigates them for their social, political and ethnic impact in the region rather than for their ostensible ideological and religious motives.
