- The significance of this edited book (The Crusades in the Modern World: Engaging the Crusades, Volume Two) lies in the innovatory nature of the field of research involved, pioneered at Royal Holloway by a group of colleagues including Awan, Horswell and Phillips. This collaborative international initiative has mobilised scholars across the world to consider the current echoes and resonances of the Crusades and crusading in the formation of a fundamentalist ‘grand narrative’, which in the 21st century underscores terrorism. Awan jointly curated and co-edited (with Horswell) this edited collection, and contributed a sole-authored chapter (‘Weaponising the crusades: justifying terrorism and political violence’, pp. 14) as well as co-writing the Introduction. All the essays in these volumes are deliberately intended by the series editors to be quite short, but, length notwithstanding, they are punchy, insightful and source-based, and collectively represent a new direction of research.
