The Crusades
Much has been written and much has been omitted when it comes to the Crusades; especially in modern parlance. Many talking heads in recent times have conjured up the specter of the Crusades as if it should be a source of great shame and disgust for Western Civilization. And with even President Obama drawing odd parallels in light of the beheadings of ISIS; many are wondering once again what all of this "Crusades talk" is all about.
Inside you will read about...
✓ Backing Up Byzantium
✓ All Out Holy War

✓ The King's Crusade
✓ The Self-Defeating Crusade
✓ The Final Crusades
✓ The Post-Crusade World
The Crusades took place over a thousand years ago, and yet we currently live in a modern day world of unspeakable terror. Islamic extremists are disrupting the entire planet, murdering, raping and enslaving everyone they encounter. Committing brutalities on a scale that rivals some of the worst abuses of the dark ages and yet people still point to the Crusades as if it is supposed to mean something. Ok, that's fine. If detractors wish to point their finger and call out history, let's find the truth, and let's find out what really happened.

Fairly superficial to put it mildly but his heart’s in the right place

Captivating
Easy read, captivating and historically informative. Would recommend for those interested in facts
So Bad it’s Hilarious
I thought history was supposed to be as unbiased as possible, yet this feels (or is) like an uneducated rant. There’s barely any sources cited, and you don’t even need to get to paragraph one before the introduction starts berating Islam through baseless accusations and portraying medieval Christian Europe as innocent, again with zero evidence.
Just don’t read, literal racist uncle at family gathering type of book.
