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.

David Nicole is one of my favourite writers on the Crusades. Knight of Outremer is both excellent reading and visually instructive and a worthy addition to Nicole's impressive list of titles on the subject.

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.
Rated by buyers -
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.
