Customer Reviews

Excellent, concise history of the crusades

This book covers the entire Crusader period, from the beginning of the first Crusade to the end of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. The author tells a fascinating story in clear, readable prose -- and in only about 200 pages. He sketches the main characters with fascinating details and doesn't skimp on the action. His enthusiasm for his subject matter comes through clearly, and at times the book reads almost like a novel. Highly recommended.
