A beautiful short introduction to the life of one of the most important figures from the Crusades, Peter the Hermit. He embodied the Christian zeal for salvation at the hands of conquest, and preached the crusade to thousands. ultimately contributing the religious impetus to the bloody western European attack on the holy land and recovery of the fabled city of Jerusalem. Daniel Goodsell paints Peter's history with words, capturing both the horror and the sublimity of the times.
