Dungeon, Fire and Sword by John J Robinson
Over the past thousand years supremacy has been fought for on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This book recounts the story of the Knights Templar, the Christian warrior-monks who occupied the sacred Mount after the First Crusade. Recruited to a life of poverty, chastity, and obedience, they were dedicated to the pious paradox of killing non-believers, and in-so-doing earning the gratitude of the Prince of Peace. In addition to providing a narrative history of the Knights Templar, the author explains the cultural and religious differences among the Templars' enemies and friends in the Middle East and gives an understanding of the people who populated the area. Here are the Sunnis and the Shiites, the Kurds and Armenians, the Arabs and the Turks, who are in today's headlines.| SKU | Unavailable |
