Author of bestsellers The Knights Templar: The History & Myths of the Legendary Military Order, The Gnostics: The First Christian Heretics and The Cathars: The Rise & Fall of the Great Heresy. My new book, A Short History of Disease, will be published in June 2015.
I really wanted to give this book a better review, but the last chapter completely ruins it. Constantly referencing hoaxers like Baigent and Leigh is ridiculous, as is having a "Speculative" bibliography.
