For: Historians and readers interested in military history
Key quote: “there's um there's a book by uh a scholar called lawrence marvin which is very much focused not on the kind of the religious dimension of it but the military”
The host mentions Lawrence Marvin's book to highlight a scholarly perspective that challenges the commonly accepted narrative about the number of casualties during the siege of Béziers. Marvin's focus on the military aspects rather than the religious dimensions provides a critical lens through which to view the events of the crusade.
