This thoroughly researched and richly detailed study of supplying
the First Crusade makes two important contributions. It
demonstrates firstly that the crusaders were capable, thoughtful,
effective, judicious, and—if necessary—ruthless in supplying
themselves. Secondly, the First Crusade’s logistical success
reveals more skillful leadership than previous scholarship has
usually portrayed.
