The Teutonic Knights pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025
William L Urban is an internationally recognised authority on the history of European warfare. He served as L Morgan Professor of History and International Studies at Monmouth College (Illinois). For several years he was editor of the Journal of Baltic Studies. He has written some two dozen scholarly books including The Teutonic Knights (2003) and Small Wars, and their Influence on the Nation State (2016)
The Teutonic Knights were powerful and ferocious advocates of holy war. Their history is suffused with crusading, campaigning and struggle. Feared by their enemies but respected by medieval Christendom, the knights and their Order maintained a firm hold over the Baltic and northern Germany and established a formidable regime which flourished across Central Europe for 300 years.
This major new book surveys the gripping history of the knights and their Order and relates their rise to power; their struggles against Prussian pagans; the series of wars against Poland and Lithuania; the clash with Alexander Nevsky’s Russia; and the gradual stagnation of the order in the fourteenth century. The book is replete with dramatic episodes - such as the battle on frozen Lake Peipus in 1242, or the disaster of Tannenberg - but focuses primarily on the knights’ struggle to maintain power, fend off incursions and raiding bands and to launch crusades against unbelieving foes. And it was the crusade which chiefly characterized and breathed life into this Holy Order.
William Urban’s narrative charts the rise and fall of the Order and, in an accessible and engaging style, throws light on a band of knights whose deeds and motives have long been misunderstood.

讀後感
还记得是高中的时候，在中学图书馆的一角翻到了售价2元人民币、诺贝尔文学奖得主、波兰裔作家显克维奇的小说《洪流》，很厚的32开本，泛黄的书页，盖满归还期限的封底，这些都丝毫没有影响到这本小说的精彩程度，继洪流之后，读完了他的《火与剑》、《十字军骑士》，至今还能回...
評分本书作者威廉•厄本（William Urban）为美国蒙茅斯学院的Lee L. Morgan历史与国际研究讲席教授，曾为学术期刊《波罗的海研究》（Journal of Baltic Studies）编辑。除了本书之外，他的作品还有《波罗的海十字军东征》《立窝尼亚韵文编年史》（译著）《普鲁士十字军东征》《立...
評分细心的人一定注意到这样一个有趣的事实，北欧五国（丹麦、瑞典、挪威、芬兰、冰岛）的国旗都有一个偏向左边的十字，所不同的只是颜色。深究起来，其来源与基督教有关。回望德国历史，一个引人注目的事实是，德意志第二帝国、魏玛共和国、第三帝国军旗上，都飞扬着同样偏向左侧...
評分“国内终于有了一部关于条顿骑士团500年兴衰史的权威著作！” 它是欧洲三大骑士团中最晚成立的一支 影响却超过圣殿骑士团和医院骑士团 他们外表上像修士僧侣，实质上却是军人 他们的武器不是说教，而是战争与和平 这是一部杰出的中世纪欧洲军事史作品，它的主题是条顿骑士的作...
評分直到今天，说起“骑士团”的历史，不少人耳熟能详的是圣殿骑士团和医院骑士团（也即圣约翰骑士团）；虽然于第三次十字军东征期间（1189—1192）初创的条顿骑士团似乎不那么为人所知，但实际上，他们同样声名显赫，应该说同样拥有丝毫不输于其他骑士团的历史。由美国蒙茅斯学院...
