A Best Book of the Year:The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Mail, The Independent, The Evening Standard, The Spectator "An entertaining account of the fraught last years of the Dark Ages." -The Wall Street Journal "An enjoyable and exuberantly argued book. . . . Holland combines sound scholarly credentials with a gift for storytelling on a magisterial scale. . . . In a tightly woven and sometimes witty narrative, [Holland demonstrates] the subtle interplay of genuine religious sentiment and cynical power politics." -The Economist "A sweeping and hugely enlightening study of Western history." -Providence Journal "Prodigious. . . . A marvelous, enthralling read, [it] gives a lively sense of these turbulent centuries that were so crucial in the making of Western civilization. . . . Narrative history in the grand manner, written with the panache and confidence we associate with the great historians of the 18th and 19th centuries." -Daily Telegraph(London) "A superb, fascinating and erudite medieval banquet of slaughter, sanctity and sex, filled with emperors, whores and monks." -Simon Sebag-Montefiore,The Evening Standard(London) "Fresh from his triumphs in Rome and Persia, Tom Holland turns his brilliant narrative spotlight on the so-called 'dark ages' that followed the Western Empire's decline.

Mightily readable-far more than the stories of Greeks and Romans, this is your history." -Mail on Sunday(London) "Remarkable. . . . Both a vastly entertaining read, with grandiloquent Gibbon-like sweep, as well as deeply intelligent: it constitutes a major contribution to some of the most crucial issues of our time." -John Cornwell,The Tablet "An exhilarating sweep across European history either side of the year 1000; riveting." -The Spectator "In the year 1000, Western Europe was no more than a primitive and fearful region in the shadow of Byzantium and Islam.

Synopsis
From Tom Holland, co-host of the hit podcast THE REST IS HISTORY, comes a grand narrative history of the re-emergence of Europe following the collapse of the Roman Empire. At the approach of the first millennium, the Christians of Europe did not seem likely candidates for future greatness. Weak, fractured, and hemmed in by hostile nations, they saw no future beyond the widely anticipated Second Coming of Christ. But when the world did not end, the peoples of Western Europe suddenly found themselves with no choice but to begin the heroic task of building a Jerusalem on earth. In The Forge of Christendom , Tom Holland masterfully describes this remarkable new age, a time of caliphs and Viking sea kings, the spread of castles and the invention of knighthood. It was one of the most significant departure points in history: the emergence of Western Europe as a distinctive and expansionist power., A grand narrative history of the re-emergence of Europe following the collapse of the Roman Empire.
