Why read it?

1 author picked Pagan's Crusade as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It’s difficult to imagine that life with the Knights Templar at the time of the Crusades was highly amusing – but despite the wealth of knowledge and detail that informs this book, it is wry and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny. Who wouldn’t love Pagan’s favorite curse: "Christ in a cream cheese sauce’?" 

From Wendy's list on to bring history to life.
