Crusaders for Jerusalem

Originally written in A.D. 1106- 1108 by Abbott Guibert de Nogent, a French Cleric who collected information on the First Crusade, the author takes us back in history to relive this uncommon and fascinating story. Join in the confusing preparation of the crusade, follow the holy warriors as they spend time in a foreign country, and relive the deliverance of Jerusalem. Guibert wrote of this difficult time not even a decade after the events took place. Faithful to God, his explanations are written with thankfulness and although there is mention of faith this story is full of interesting actions and is never tedious or dull. If we cannot trust Guibert who heard these stories first hand, who else can we rely on to get 900 year old facts about the cruel Crusade? Read vivid details of princes, knights, soldiers, battles, and skirmishes. This book even reveals information of the severely hunger-stricken crusaders who sometimes but seldom ate their enemies! Though there was useless killing, suffering, and bewailing - in the end their mission was accomplished. At a very high price Jerusalem was liberated! The author published this book so an essential part of our history would never be forgotten. Go back in time and read the fascinating story of the Crusader for Jerusalem.
