What makes a war 'holy', and who decides that it is? This title examines the origins of holy war, and how it affects the modern world. It shows how the ideal of the crusade, 'God's War', came to permeate medieval Christendom, and how it influenced later Western societies, especially in their attitudes to colonialism.
