Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870), author of The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers, The Man in the Iron Mask, etc..., chronicles the events of Napoleon's Egyptian expedition, including his foray into Syria. Dumas' father, the famous French general Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, accompanied Napoleon on that ill-conceived campaign. Following the "Battle of the Pyramids," a dispute arose between the two concerning Napoleon's leadership on the long dry march to Cairo. This incident prompted General Dumas to withdraw from the expedition and return to France. Although the general died while Alexandre was still a child, Dumas learned the details of the campaign from his father's comrades-in-arms.

Why did the last of the major European campaigns to reclaim Jerusalem end in an attack on Tunis, a peaceful North African port city thousands of miles from the Holy Land? In the first book-length study of the campaign in English, Michael Lower tells the story of how the classic era of crusading came to such an unexpected end. Unfolding against a backdrop of conflict and collaboration that extended from England to Inner Asia, the Tunis Crusade entangled people from every corner of the Mediterranean world. Within this expansive geographical playing field, the ambitions of four powerful Mediterranean dynasts would collide. While the slave-boy-turned-sultan Baybars of Egypt and the saint-king Louis IX of France waged a bitter battle for Syria, al-Mustansir of Tunis and Louis's younger brother Charles of Anjou struggled for control of the Sicilian Straits. When the conflicts over Syria and Sicily became intertwined in the late 1260s, the Tunis Crusade was the shocking result. While the history of the crusades is often told only from the crusaders' perspective, in The Tunis Crusade of 1270, Lower brings Arabic and European-language sources together to offer a panoramic view of these complex multilateral conflicts. Standing at the intersection of two established bodies of scholarship--European History and Near Eastern Studies--this volume contributes to both by opening up a new conversation about the place of crusading in medieval Mediterranean culture.

It is 1312AD,Saladin,s Islamic hordes rule the East whilst Pope Clement V has abolished and executed the last of the Templar Knights.Actually the year marks the inauguration of the Sons of Sion, a fanatical Catholic sect based in a hidden fortress in southwest France near the mysterious village of Rennes le Chateau.This shadowy organisation was and still is tasked with the financial investments of the Vatican in order to acheive the destruction of Islam as decreed by Pope Urban II. .Selecting documented world events from the disappearance of Jewish Gold with the conivance of Pope Pius X to the missing weapons of mass destruction and the desire of the late Iraqi regime to use them, the novel is a controversial viewpoint on the widely held belief that the current Islamic extremists are acting without provocation, when in fact elements of Rome never gave up their determination to finally defeat the Infidel.Current Internet threats against the Sion Crusaders merely add credance to this viewpoint

The Crusades The Crusades are the prototype and epitome of the Holy War. The fight to take control of the city of Jerusalem, believed to be the most sacred Holy City to two distinct religions of Christianity and Islam, has lasted far longer than the two centuries of the Crusades and its reach has extended far further than Europe and the Middle East. Over the course of nine organized campaigns and many more unorganized ones, the Christian west militarized in the name of God to push back the threat of Islam advancing from the east. Inside you will read about... - Peace in War: A Background to the Crusades - The First to the Eighth Crusade - Establishing the Crusader States - The Children's Crusade and Crusading Against Christians - The Last Crusade And much more! Understanding the Crusades is key in understanding the religious divides that still threaten the order of the world.
