Read in August, 2011

I really enjoyed the depth and breadth of the descriptions of the Crusader movement from the perspective of both Christendom and Islam. It was a fascinating read giving perspective on Europe as it was moving out of the Dark Ages and into the Middle Ages and on Islam as it experienced the consequences of decline and rejuvenation.
