Trying to find a good historically correct book about the Crusades. I don't want it from the Catholic nor the Protestant point of view. I want it historically correct without the author bent one way or the other. I'm not a Catholic, so I would lean toward Protestant, but I don't want any biases. Anyone know of anything, read anything good about the history on this? |

I have a copy but I haven't read it yet so can't really endorse the book at this point, but Zoe Oldenbourg wrote a history titled "The Crusades." I know she wrote historical fiction, and this looks like a detailed fact based as much as it can be description of the times. My paperback was published in 1966; tiny print; over 700 pages! |

There is The Kingdom series by Chuck Black. I have not read any them yet, but they are on our wishlist. There are also the well-researched books by G.A Henty. Here is a link to a chronological listing of his books. http://www.henty.com/henty/s86p1428.htm If you want to check out his books before buying, most of them are available to read online at either the Baldwyn or Gutenburg Project sites. Enjoy! |

Winning His Spurs by G.A.Henty This would be considered a Historical Fiction book. This is my son's favorite Henty book. We also listened to it on tape a few years back while on a family vacation. All Henty books are well done. I know Vision Forum sells them. |
