Holy War: The Fight for Jerusalem

by Francis Hayes

It is the most holy city in the world – the center of true worship for 3 key faiths.Yet, for centuries Jerusalem has been at the heart of a desperate struggle between East and West. Towards the end of the Twelfth Century, this enmity gave rise to two of the greatest warriors of that – or any – age; Richard the Lionheart and Saladin. The clash of these two men as they fought for control of the Holy Land is an epic story of courage, faith and despotism.

I learned a lot about the crusades that I did not know before. I always thought they were a short term battle and I was really educated on this and the people that drove them. The author should do a better job of editing the books (I found errors in the last book too) as there are many grammatical errors throughout the book. The most glaring in this book is on page 167 in the third paragraph where he wrote: Referring to Alexius, "As a result, he visited the Crusader camp and offered to hire them as is personal body guard until March 2014, when he reckoned that the weather would permit the expedition to move on to Egypt. That is 811 years from the time he wa crowned Emperor in 1203.
