The Crusades: War in The Name of God

Peter Milger's unsurpassed masterpiece on a subject that all too often degenerates into mere entertainment in today's media landscape. It's the best crusades-themed thing ever on TV. If you really want to know everything about the Crusades in detail, you have to look at this documentation. The facts of the Crusades are monstrous. If the Crusades have hitherto been regarded as reprehensible excesses of Christian fanatics, one must thoroughly revise one's judgment here. The Crusades were ordered by the highest ecclesiastical and secular authorities, it was promoted; Forgiveness from sin was promised, it wasn't fanatics who took part, just normal Christians who sold the farm, abandoned the family and followed the pope's call, there was slaughter and murder. For three hundred years, Christianity was the terrorist organization in Europe and the Near East, and then the Inquisition terrorized the population of Europe.
