Alfred J. Andrea is Emeritus Professor of History, The University of Vermont, and the author of numerous books, including The Medieval Record: Sources of Medieval History (Second Revised Edition, 2020) and Sanctified Violence: Holy War in World History (with Andrew Holt, 2021), both available from Hackett Publishing.
""Andrea takes the reader on a journey over 1,000 years and around the world. By weaving a masterpiece of historical narrative and inquiry he demonstrates that Medieval Europe was very much part of world history while dispelling myths and misconceptions along the way. It is the type of book that awakens the mind and demonstrates the importance of historical study."" —Timothy May, University of North Georgia
