I know this isn't /lit/, but does anyone here have a recommendation for a book on the crusades? I'm looking for something that goes into good detail and sticks to a historical perspective rather than playing politics. It doesn't have to be comprehensive or 1500 pages, just a good primer on the historical aspects of the period and the events.
Anyone have any ideas about this?

The Crusades (1966) by Zoe Oldenbourg is exactly that
