The Volcanic Crisis of Persian Babylonia (426–424 b . c . e .)
Ice-core, dendrochronological, and climate-model evidence identifies an extraordinarily powerful volcanic eruption around 426 b.c.e. that produced severe multi-year cooling and increased precipitation through strong stratospheric aerosol forcing. Model results indicate sustained cooling and wetter conditions in Babylonia, incompatible with stable date cultivation and likely causing crop failure. Statistical analysis shows a sharp rise in land mor…
The Cambridge World History of Genocide
Volume I offers an introductory survey of the phenomenon of genocide. The first five chapters examine its major recurring themes, while the further nineteen are specific case studies. The combination of thematic and empirical approaches illuminates the origins and long history of genocide, its causes, consistent characteristics, and the connections linking various cases from earliest times to the early modern era. The themes examined include the …

Courage and Cowardice on the First Crusade, 1096–1099
Previous surveys of medieval thinking with regard to courage and cowardice have concluded that the greatest opprobrium was reserved for those knights who turned and fled from battle. A close examination of the many sources for the First Crusade, however, indicates that such battlefield behaviour was far less of an issue than that of desertion from the campaign. There is no comparison between the anger and violent expression of dismay directed tow…
The Crusades and the Near East
God’s Bounty, Pauperes and the Crusades of 1096 and 1147
Cease, therefore, your discords, let your quarrels fall silent, your wars become quiescent, and let the disagreements of all controversy be put to sleep. Start the journey to the Holy Sepulchre, get that land off the criminal race and make it subject to you, that land the possession of which had been given by God to the sons of Israel, which – as the Scripture says – is flowing with milk and honey . Robert the Monk was present at the famous Counc…
Social Unrest and the Failure of Conrad III's March Through Anatolia, 1147
Modern discussion of the failure of Conrad III's army in Anatolia whilst on crusade in 1148 has mainly concentrated on the question of logistical supply, and there is no doubt that lack of food and water played a considerable part in weakening the crusading forces. But there are important near-contemporary Latin sources, including ones written by authors resident in the kingdom of Germany who had spoken to returned crusaders, that provide evidenc…
The Afterlife of Bishop Adhémar of Le Puy
My brothers should not grieve that my life has come to an end, because never was I so useful to them in the past as I will be in the future, providing they are willing to keep the commandments of God. As a matter of fact I, and all my brothers whose life has ended as mine has, will stay with them, and I will appear and give them much better advice than hitherto

William of Tyre, Livy, and the Vocabulary of Class
William of Tyre, Livy, and the Vocabulary of Class Conor Kostick The most valuable source for the history of the early crusades and the Kingdom of Jerusalem is undoubtedly William of Tyre's A History of Deeds Done Beyond The Sea. A work of great scholarship and careful detail, it is particularly important in that William was Chancellor of the Kingdom of Jerusalem from 1174 and Archbishop of Tyre from 1175 to his death c. 1185 and so was closely p…
Revolution in Ireland, Popular Militancy (1917-1923)
The years from the Easter Rising in 1916 to the ending of the Civil War in 1923 were years full of drama and of fast-changing events, whose outcome shaped Irish society for generations. The conventional narrative of this period is one that focuses on the efforts of the nationalist politicians of various hues and the military activities of the IRA in their struggle to escape the British Empire. But these were also years of extraordinary popular in…
