Philip Daileader
Centuries have passed since the last crusader knight laid down his sword, but the Crusades continue to hold sway over our world. Because the Crusades have been so consequential to history, it's essential to understand the context, motivations, and preconditions of these dramatic military campaigns. In doing so, you'll not only get a fresher understanding of the Crusades, you'll discover surprising truths about why (and how) they were fought.
More than just an enriching recount of events, this series of 24 lectures is an intellectually rewarding exploration of how the Crusades shaped the medieval world and laid the seeds for our own. Plunging you into the series of Crusades to the Holy Land and elsewhere - from the calling of the First Crusade in 1095 to the collapse of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, in 1291 - Professor Daileader's lectures are filled with eye-opening insights and gripping stories that will help you reach your own conclusions about just how important these centuries of warfare were to the story of human civilization.

If you enjoy this, you would also enjoy the Thomas Madden lectures on the Crusades (through Modern Scholar on audible). Each professor chooses to emphasize different details.
Strengths here include an increased emphasis on causes and later impacts, while not skipping some of the interesting stories along the way. The lectures changed my perspective in many ways. He does a good job presenting the different schools of thought among historians on these issues, which seems especially prevalent in this time period with limited sources.
Overall, one of the better TC history lecture series.

What did you love best about How the Crusades Changed History?
The detail. The summary in the last two chapters was very much appreciated. However, this lecture series contains so much material I may need to go through it a few more time. I do love listening to Professor Philip Daileader as he lectures.What other book might you compare How the Crusades Changed History to and why?
NAHave you listened to any of Professor Philip Daileader’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have listened to his wonderful series on the Middle Ages; those are incomparable!Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No way - much too complexAny additional comments?
I completed this course "How the Crusades Changed History" narrated by Professor Philip Daileader today. Great stuff!I can't recommend this for those with a lackluster interest in the how, why and who of the Crusades or those who shy away from violent history, but it is a doggone good collection of lectures for a neophyte like me.
This course did address a huge gap in my understanding of the many dimensions/layers of the crusades. Particularly enlightening was Professor Daileader's explaining the ignorance that crusaders had of Islam and the Arabic culture, particularly in what is now Spain when all this started. The crusaders' fear of something of which they had so little understanding and how that changed over the course of the 500 years following the first crusade made for a fascinating study.
Be advised there is no soft pedaling of the violence that characterized this era.
Curious as to the What, Who, Why and When?
