Haggard was an early 20th century British writer. He favored adventure stories set in exotic surroundings. Although Haggard is best known for his book King Solomon's Mine, this tale of adventure captures the essence of the Crusades and the men who fought in them. Haggard captures the intensity of men who are willing to give their lives for a cause they believe in. Their dedication on the battlefield and their gratitude when they have captured a sacred place is overwhelming.
