Publisher Description
In God’s Battalions, distinguished scholar Rodney Stark puts forth a controversial argument that the Crusades were a justified war waged against Muslim terror and aggression. Stark, the author of The Rise of Christianity, reviews the history of the seven major crusades from 1095-1291 in this fascinating work of religious revisionist history.
Customer Reviews
Not very great
It’s gives decent context on why the Christian states went on the 1st crusade. Unfortunately it is of course very biased to the crusaders throughout the whole book. Portraying them as always being right and never doing any wrong. All of the wrongdoings of the crusaders are pushed to a different group or the poor that followed the crusaders. Historical accuracy should be the most important thing when writing about an historical event. All I want is the truth when it comes to history, not biased views to whatever side the writer supports.
