| Re: Crusades Book recommendation | Bill | Friday, October 19, 2007 |
Question: Bro Ignatius Mary, God bless the work you are doing here. For Maries's question about a book for her son on the Crusades, as a historian and loyal Catholic, I recommend Prof. Jonathan Riley-Smith's excellent _What Were the Crusades?_. Riley-Smith is one of the foremost experts on the era and has written extensively. He is an emeritus professor of history from Cambridge University and is a Knight of St John (Order of Malta). This book is rather short, well written and not written for historians (we are a boring lot). |

| Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary
Dear Bill: Thanks for the recommendations. Other than the book, "Triumph," and the High School text "Christ, Lord of History," the only books I know are of the comprehensive and "boring" type :) Here is a link to buy the book for anyone interested: God Bless,
