This book asks just how important was The Fourth Crusade (1202-4) as a turning point in the Middle East. The broad setting is the encounter of Byzantium with the West in the framework of the crusades, an encounter overburdened with distrust. 1204 was a solution and created situations barely conceivable when the fourth crusade set sail from Venice.
