Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
After Saladin's great victory at the Battle of Hattin in 1137, Outremer, as medieval westerners called the remaining Latin or Catholic enclaves in the eastern Mediterranean, was no longer a threat to Islam. Its military elites preferred to live in peace, focusing on trade as much as on the defence of Christendom's holy places. In this, the very first book in the English language to objectively study the knights of the Latin East, David Nicolle presents a well-balanced and informed account of the Western warriors who defended the Crusader territories for so long.

This book discusses the military elite of the faltering Catholic Kingdoms of the Middle East following the Battle of Hattin and the capture of Jerusalem by Salah al-Din, as seen in the Kingdom of Heaven. It has the usual excellent twelve pages of artwork by Christa Hook.

Well researched; good details in the "expanded" views; however, I really prefer Rothero or McBride to the overall artistic style of Hook. Otherwise, still a very good resource.

I, too, enjoyed this book. However, if you already possess _Crusader Knight_, then save your money. Both books are the exact same. Different titles, different cover art; but, the same text and photos on the exact same numbered page.
Buy one or the other -- great book -- but do not buy both.

This book is a definite guideline for Crusader ReEnactors everywhere. It offers the smallest details and many insights only foound in Dr Nicolle's larger textbooks. But here is a quick and easy to read book with great illustrations to enable reenactors and crusader nuts to learn more.

Like all Osprey Military books This Book is of the highest Quality. This fine and outstanding book is filled with Tactical to Everyday information on life in the Outremer, including oringinal paintings of Knights,combat, and gear of all sorts. I like how each topic flows into the next,and how the art captures the feel as well as shows a great technical knowlege of the Armour and Weapons of the Period. I also found the area on Horses to be of use and the Break down images of saddles is not covered by many books. A must have.
