History of the Knights Templar

Enjoyed this book and it is excellent if you are doing research on the Knights Templar. Most people do not understand exactly what happened to the Templars and this book is very accurate on that account. Reading was interesting and references were easy to research online.

The REAL STORY!!!

If you are sick of reading the hype and hyperbole about the Knights Templar, and would like to know what they REALLY did then this is the book for you. If you want to hear ficticious accounts about what they 'could have' done then read something like Holy Blood Holy Grail. This is based on Historical documentation and as close to contemporary accounts of the Crusades as possible. Historians would like this book, fantasy fans will find it "tedious". It is a must have in any Templar or Crusade library and a must have reference.

Great book for the beginner in History of the Knights Templa

This book is full of history of the Order of the Knights Templar. Addison goes into some deep history of the Templars and the Times they lived in right up to the supression of the order. He also sets up a basis for the fact that the Templars did not all 'go away' after thier supression but lived on in countries where Phillip and Pope Clement V could not touch them. This book is great to start on your journey to find the truth about this order of Knights.
