The title is slightly misleading. Although it does deal with the apocalyptic expectations in the Middle Ages, its main argument is that there was an eschatological component in Crusading ideology. So you get a very good discussion on the views on the apocalypse and end of times up to about 1200, with a special discussion of the role of a Christian Jerusalem in bringing about the Second Coming, and then the book abruptly stops.

Un éclairage intéressant sur les croisades, qui se concentre principalement sur l'évolution de l'attitude de l'église chrétienne, de la non-violence des débuts à la glorification de la guerre sainte. Des éléments intéressants mais finalement un peu frustrant. C'est un survol de 1000 ans d'histoire dans un petit volume, donc forcément cela reste très général. Sans doute une bonne introduction au sujet des croisades, et qui donne surtout envie d'aller plus loin.
