3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jul-29-2006; Cruise aid through history; I will not lie to you. At times this is a boring book.

1/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Feb-28-2006; A Big Lie; The crusades were a defensive move in reaction to hundreds of years of violent jihad that spread Islam by force to the heart of Europe. True, the battles were bloody but that is they way they waged warfare back then. For a more accurate...; read full review | report as inappropriate
