God's Warriors by Helen Jane Nicholson
This book tells the story of the momentous campaign that led to the Muslim capture of Jerusalem in 1187, following the disastrous Crusader defeat at Hattin, where Saladin's troops destroyed the Christian army. These events resulted in the collapse of the kingdom of Jerusalem and sparked off the Third Crusade under Richard I. The authors take a close look at the two most intriguing warrior types involved in the conflict: the Knight Templar and the Saracen Faris. Their motivation, training and combat experiences are examined, as the authors explore what it was really like to fight in the Crusades.David Nicolle was born in 1944 and spent his early years working for the BBC, notably the foreign broadcasting division, before returning to university and earning his doctorate in Edinburgh. He went on to teach at Jordan's Yarmouk University. He now focuses in writing and is an expert on medieval armaments and armor. He also contributes to a number of professional journals and international conferences on a regular basis. He currently resides in Leicestershire, England.
