This volume focuses on the latter stages of the Crusades, particularly detailing events from A.D. 1255 to 1396, exploring the conflicts between Christians and Muslims following the notable Eighth Crusade led by Louis IX of France. The work delves into the political upheavals and battles that marked this tumultuous period, portraying the struggles for power that both factions faced. The opening of this volume discusses the backdrop following Louis IX's efforts to unite and fortify Christian cities in Palestine. It highlights the increasing discord among the Christian factions and the clashes between the rival maritime nations of Genoa and Venice, which further weakened their efforts against the advancing Muslims. As tensions mount, the narrative shifts to the rise of the Mamelukes and their confrontations with the Mongols, demonstrating how internal conflict among the Christians and the feuding empires of the East created a landscape ripe for devastation. The complexities of alliances, treachery, and the appeal for external aid paint a vivid picture of the desperation and hope during this historical period.
