Christians Who Defended the West from Islamic Conquest
with Raymond Ibrahim
Relying primarily on contemporary sources, Raymond Ibrahim vividly tells the story of "eight eminently violent men" who played leading roles fighting Muslims in the era 1100-1500, when Christianity was a "muscular religion." By recalling those exploits, the author hopes not just to pay tribute to distant accomplishments but to inspire today's Christians.
