First published in 1907, this book provides a history of the political relations between the states founded by Crusaders and the Islamic states with which they waged war.

Additional material includes appendices relating to chronology, a list of principal works referred to in the notes, an index, and maps. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history and historiography of the Crusades.
