Countless authors have swept us into the exotic east, but few based their tales there. In a time when westerners still spoke publicly about "the white man's burden," Harold Lamb was crafting action-packed stories featuring Arabs, Mongols, and Hindus as heroic, sympathetic, and believable characters: men of honor and integrity ready to lay down their lives for their countries and their comrades.

Reconstructing Ashkenaz shows that, contrary to traditional historical accounts, the Jews of western Europe in the High Middle Ages were not a society of saints and martyrs.

Dès leur arrivée en Syrie, les Francs firent preuve d’une adaptabilité multiforme. Ils intégrèrent des éléments locaux dans leurs armées, palliant ainsi leurs difficultés démographiques, même s’il faut revenir sur l’idée d’une supériorité musulmane systématique. Les armées musulmanes souffrirent longtemps d’un déficit de commandement et ne devinrent cohésives, disciplinées et correctement équipées qu’à partir de Zankī. La guerre, très présente, s’était alors déjà réglée, au moins en partie. Les coups de main rapides et la guerre de siège constituaient la majorité des affrontements. Les Francs comblèrent leur retard en matière de poliorcétique. Sur les champs de bataille, servis par un équipement lourd de qualité, leurs cavaliers perfectionnèrent leur charge massive et leur technique de la charge lance couchée; les cavaliers turcs, polyvalents, y répondirent par une discipline et une mobilité plus grandes encore.

While recognising the sophistication of the practice of medieval warfare, many people still have problems reconciling the widespread use of surprise and deception with the code of chivalric warfare. Was chivalry really just a meaningless veneer? If true, perhaps more perplexing are the many cases where surprise or deception were not employed and advantages were therefore sacrificed. This work argues that understanding these apparent inconsistencies requires an appreciation of the moral and legal context of medieval strategic thought. Through taking this approach, chivalric warfare can be seen for what it was - a very real framework or system of rules that allowed a result or decision to be reached which could be accepted by both sides.
