	H-France Review
		Caroline Smith, in her Crusading in the Age of Joinville, tackles the issues of crusader mentality and motivation, but for a later period than the one on which Bull and Riley-Smith focused, and using different sources.
		To achieve her goals, Smith turns instead to a variety of sources--indeed, the first two chapters of her book are given over entirely to a discussion of those sources.
		The juxtaposition of these two individuals--only in three brief concluding paragraphs does Smith directly compare the two--neither places them in a very different light nor allows the author to move far beyond the point advanced at the outset to justify the comparison: crusading was more central to some careers than to others.

	Academics Says Crusade Film Inaccurate \| Christianpost.com- Christian News Online , Christian World News
		While makers of the film describe it to be “historically accurate”, leading authority on the Crusades, Jonathan Riley-Smith, found the aspects of the plot to be “complete fiction” and “dangerous to Arab relations” even.
		According to Smith, the plot was “complete and utter nonsense” since it relied on the romanticized view of the Crusades as written by Sir Walter Scott in his book, The Talisman, published 1825.
		Jonathan Philips, a lecturer in history at London University and author of The Fourth Crusade and the Sack of Constantinople, said former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and the late Syrian President Hafez Assad used Saladin to promote Arab Muslim pride even though Saladin was ignored in Arab history.

		He's been a landmark influence, of course, but five books amount to some redundancy at the expense of other important works.
		Beautiful maps are punctuated with painstaking detail -- historical dates, battle sites, travel routes, castles & fortresses, monasteries and holy sites, cities and towns -- all set against the backdrop of splendid color-plating.
		Jonathan Riley-Smith -- the "E.P. Sanders" of crusades scholarship -- refutes myths of colonial crusaders, in particular the idea that crusaders were landless sons intent on carving out territories abroad.

	First Crusade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, current research suggests that although Urban promised crusaders spiritual as well as material benefit, the primary aim of most crusaders was spiritual rather than material gain.
		Moreover, recent research by Jonathan Riley-Smith instead shows that the crusade was an immensely expensive undertaking, affordable only to those knights who were already fairly wealthy, such as Hugh of Vermandois and Robert Curthose, who were relatives of the French and English royal families, and Raymond of Toulouse, who ruled much of southern France.

		There are many good narrative accounts of the Crusades and many monographs that take up particular aspects—and no end of polemics.
		Jonathan Riley-Smith’s slim volume, however, is among the rarest of books: a fair-minded attempt to judge the Crusaders by their own moral standards.
		Riley-Smith’s discussions of what a Crusade was, who the Crusaders were, and by what authority a knight was justified in taking up the Cross are essential tools to help modern men and women understand a phenomenon that seems as inexplicable to us as the lemmings’ march to the sea.

		Jonathan Riley-Smith's unabashed apologia for medieval Europe's most shameful epoch wishfully claims that "the original justification for crusading was Muslim aggression; and in terms of atrocities, the two sides' scores were about even" (December 23rd, "Religious Warriors").
		The only way to support such a brash statement is to conveniently overlook the crucial distinction between the medieval Turks and Arabs -- both fungible "Muslims" (according to Riley-Smith), the actions of one attributable to the other.
