  Historian Josse Pietersma and renowned artist Roelof Wijtsma team up for this thrilling story set in the time of the Crusades: the Frisian Jelmer and his men join in enthusiastically in the Fifth Crusade (1217-1221) and play a crucial role in the conquest of the tower of Damietta in 1218. But as full of convictions as Jelmer was at the start, so many doubts are creeping up on him as the battle continues. Is he really fighting the righteous fight? Jelmer is more than an adventure story: it shows the psychological struggle of a man who is seen by many as the chosen one who will lead them into victory. But what is victory? And what is right anymore?
