About this ebook
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 Kingdom of Heaven
✓ 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.

There is something we call empiricism in history. This book is so eurocentric and biased there's no wonder it's free. This guy failed to address the various crusader states, the relationship between crusaders and Mongols and failed to acknowledge that the various Muslim empires were largely successful against Christian armies until WW1 and the loss of the Ottoman Empire.

A very awful book that doesn't mention the actual brutality of the crusaders, which was smth the author was trying so hard to "debunk" Not only is it Islamophobic but completely ignores almost all important events that happened, you didn't mention how the crusaders' brutality massacred the citizens of Jerusalem both Christian, Jew, and muslim. You didn't mention how they brutally cannibalised the people of Ma'arra how they themselves were planning to betray one another. Ac completely hypothetical and bias book, 0/5 would not recommend for someone who's intrested in accurate history. Now I'm not even sure to read the other books he wrote considering I was planning to read them all.

I couldn't get pass the Introduction. Right from the start you can sense this book was written with personal biases. It immediately addresses disdain remarks towards Islam while drawing irellevant referencs about Karl Marx, and Joseph Smith, to try and further his personal view about Islam.
