In the Year 1096 : The First Crusade and the Jews

In the Year 1096 presents a clear, highly readable chronicle of the events of 1096.

Noted teacher and historian Robert Chazan brings readers to critical moments in Jewish history, illuminating the events themselves, their antecedents, and their far-reaching consequences.

Equally important, his book assesses the significance of the events of 1096 within the larger framework of Jewish history, including both the scope of persecution and the record of Jewish resistance.
