"The Eighth Crusade by Rod Norgrove" Extremely facinating, with a great depth of research needed to make this an amazing read. It keeps you rivetedfrom start to finish. Highly recommended
"The Eighth Crusade by Rod Norgrove" This book looks to be of great interest with its controversial theory and hopefully will prove to be very thought provoking. i wait in aticipation of its release in the U.K. but for now i will definately be purchasing it from the United States. Fantastic research must have gone into the writing of this book.
