This slender and pricey book is, it has to be said, somewhat disappointing. Too many of the contributions are slight; perhaps the most interesting (that of Jensen) has little to say about Acre. Opportunities for dialogue between contributions (e.g. between Jensen and Connell) are missed. There are also niggling presentational issues. Contributors cannot agree on how to spell Thadeus of Naples’ name, there is an irritating sprinkle of typos (though “Charlemagne and his pears” has a certain charm..) and the only map seems to relate to an engagement during the 1189-91 siege which is not covered in the text. Overall one feels that this is something of a missed opportunity. Pertenece a las seriesHistory of Warfare (116)
In the crusader period Acre was in many ways a remarkable place, but the most striking thing about its history is the number of times it fell to enemies. The present volume Acre and Its Falls is unusual in that it analyses a wide range of aspects of the history of Acre across the crusader period, combining political, military and cultural history, with a notable emphasis on the memory of the city in Europe. This may have been a city famous for its falls, but most certainly not for them alone. Contributors are Adrian J. Boas, Charles W. Connell, Paul F. Crawford, Susan B. Edgington, Marie-Luise Favreau-Lilie, John France, Anna Gilmour-Bryson, John D. Hosler, Georg Philipp Melloni, Janus M?ller Jensen, J. Rubin, and Iris Shagrir.
