This review is from: The Crusades (Paperback)
I'm not much of a history buff, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I'd recommend it to anyone. The text is easy to follow and the art work is very well done -- a fascinating read for those interested in the time period.

This review is from: The Crusades (Paperback)
This book is the best book on the Crusades that I have read yet. Its easy to read and packed full of great information. I know a lot about the Crusades and I still learned a lot from reading this book. Another plus is that it has great illustrations and a very sturdy binding. I would recommend this book to all of my friends.
