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.
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)

评分《条顿骑士团:一部军事史》威廉•厄本???????????????? 书评:我算不上一个军事迷,既然书在手上,读了就希望能够帮助自己提升一些认识。严格上称不上书评,读后所感而已。也谈不上研究,无心之言,仅就此读过。 1、这是一本跨度近400年的历史,一个宗教军事组织的历史。身...

评分直到今天,说起“骑士团”的历史,不少人耳熟能详的是圣殿骑士团和医院骑士团(也即圣约翰骑士团);虽然于第三次十字军东征期间(1189—1192)初创的条顿骑士团似乎不那么为人所知,但实际上,他们同样声名显赫,应该说同样拥有丝毫不输于其他骑士团的历史。由美国蒙茅斯学院...
