"This book tells the story of the Damietta Crusade as a military campaign but seeks to treat both sides who fought it sympathetically. It explains the campaign's failure, or, conversely, the successful defense of Egypt by its ruler and people."
"Its planning, preparation, and execution stemmed from a coherent grand strategy, it incorporated strategic thought to accomplish a tangible goal, its participants conducted a multi-year campaign via several different operations and of course the conflict itself reflected the tactics of early-thirteenth-century soldiers, both west and east."
