Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"While sharing all the strengths and weaknesses of 'popular' historical studies, Beeching's book stands distinguished by a wonderful felicity of style, which carries the reader forward as he becomes familiarized with the lengthy (and exceedingly diverse) cast of characters involved in events leading to the climactic defeat of the Islamic forces by the Christian Holy League. The work more than fulfills the requirements for enjoyable reading while offering a generally accurate rendition of a major episode of Western history."
