"A definite 'must-read' if you have any interest in the Crusades or medieval European history as the author presents a very detailed and well-written review of everything associated with the Third Crusade as well as in-depth biographies of Richard the Lionheart and Saladin. The book was very hard to put down as the narrative progressed."
"A tad superficial and did not have the historical context or detail that I was expecting. A good read all the same, and recommended to anyone starting out on the subject."
"Endlessly fascinating. Plugged a gap I didn't know I had in my historical knowledge and in doing so gave me new perspectives on current events. Highly recommended."
"I've read this twice, the last time while in Iraq. I loved it both times. Gives a great historical perspective on our current problems with Islam. Very balanced and apolitical."
