I liked this book very much, and will probably refer back to it in the future due the fascinating facts and side bars the author includes. I would not rely on it as the ONLY text to tell the story of the Kingdom of Jerusalem however. Whether it is the author's or the translator's fault, the book is replete with questionable and often times amusing grammar. E.g: " The invading army appears to have numbered atleast two hundred thousand men in all, who are said to have spoken nineteen languages; and Nicea, the advanced post of the kingdom won by Alp Arslan some twenty years earlier, had perhaps but a small Turkish garrison.". Whew! But there are scant resources available to the layperson on this subject, so Conder's account is welcome.
