Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by imad
Excellent book. Required reading for these tense times. From an historical point of view extremely provocative and challenging.Very good narration and first class erudition. Refreshing open mindedness ( a lesson for some of the bigots that have chronicled the Crusades in this last century ). The battle scenes need a tad bit more detail however and scriptural interpretations are not always accurate. Otherwise this book merits a five.

Rated 2 of 5 of 5 by Sarah
This book has a lot intersting facts and is very informative but it is extremely hard to follow. It isn't for the average reader. You definately have to be a History major or minor to get into this one. But it is very well written and very factual. Anyone can appreciate that.

Rated 1 of 5 of 5 by Jessey

This book was extremely detailed and too over-processed for my liking. It seems as though the James Reston read through a dozen text books and revised all of them, compiling data into novel form. At least TRY to make it interesting...

Rated 1 of 5 of 5 by Kelsey again
I forgot to say that the book is hard to follow and is confusing!!!

Rated 1 of 5 of 5 by Kelsey
This is the most boring book I have ever read, it is taking me forever to get through it and I am a fast reader and I love to read. The book is so factual that it is just like a textbook except it is in book form.

Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Joseph L. Moore
Well written and engaging.
