William L Urban is an internationally recognised authority on the history of European warfare. He served as L Morgan Professor of History and International Studies at Monmouth College (Illinois). For several years he was editor of the Journal of Baltic Studies. He has written some two dozen scholarly books including The Teutonic Knights (2003) and Small Wars, and their Influence on the Nation State (2016)
The Teutonic Knights were powerful and ferocious advocates of holy war. Their history is suffused with crusading, campaigning and struggle. Feared by their enemies but respected by medieval Christendom, the knights and their Order maintained a firm hold over the Baltic and northern Germany and established a formidable regime which flourished across Central Europe for 300 years.
This major new book surveys the gripping history of the knights and their Order and relates their rise to power; their struggles against Prussian pagans; the series of wars against Poland and Lithuania; the clash with Alexander Nevsky’s Russia; and the gradual stagnation of the order in the fourteenth century. The book is replete with dramatic episodes - such as the battle on frozen Lake Peipus in 1242, or the disaster of Tannenberg - but focuses primarily on the knights’ struggle to maintain power, fend off incursions and raiding bands and to launch crusades against unbelieving foes. And it was the crusade which chiefly characterized and breathed life into this Holy Order.
William Urban’s narrative charts the rise and fall of the Order and, in an accessible and engaging style, throws light on a band of knights whose deeds and motives have long been misunderstood.

評分還記得是高中的時候,在中學圖書館的一角翻到瞭售價2元人民幣、諾貝爾文學奬得主、波蘭裔作傢顯剋維奇的小說《洪流》,很厚的32開本,泛黃的書頁,蓋滿歸還期限的封底,這些都絲毫沒有影響到這本小說的精彩程度,繼洪流之後,讀完瞭他的《火與劍》、《十字軍騎士》,至今還能迴...
評分細心的人一定注意到這樣一個有趣的事實,北歐五國(丹麥、瑞典、挪威、芬蘭、冰島)的國旗都有一個偏嚮左邊的十字,所不同的隻是顔色。深究起來,其來源與基督教有關。迴望德國曆史,一個引人注目的事實是,德意誌第二帝國、魏瑪共和國、第三帝國軍旗上,都飛揚著同樣偏嚮左側...
