Review # 1 was written on 2013-08-14 00:00:00 Christopher Mcduffy I loved this book. It's an easy and very informative read. I was very pleased to see how much information there was on The Knights Templar. This pleased me because this group of people are my favourite group of the crusades. I suppose it helped that I had studied them recently in University. These crusades are a very fascinating part of, and playing a significant part in, history. The pictures and other details are very well done and really helps to cement ones' knowledge of this part of history. This is a book I want to buy to have as a reference book about this period in history.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-03-20 00:00:00 Hi Katsu It took me a while to finish this. The illustrations and pictures featured in the book is a good distraction, i suppose. I'm taking my time indulging every little details of every crusades. This book might need to be re-read as I couldn't remember all of the wars and battles occured in holy land. There are few that stood out while I'm reading this like the great speech at Clemont in 1095 by Pope Urban when he called for the first crusades, the highlight on weapon of tactics by Soldier of Islam, the massacre of muslim prisoners during the surrender of Acre and the tale of Peter 1 of Cyprus as the crusade king in the mid of 14th Century. This is just some of the events that i can remember while i write this review. Overall, this a good book to begin with if you wanted to understand the history of crusades.
