Description

"The Monks of War" explores military religious orders such as the Templars and Teutonic Knights. Bound by vows, they fought for Christendom, defending Jerusalem, battling Moors, and forming Prussia. They were the first disciplined Western troops since Rome. This updated edition, covering events up to the 1990s, recounts epics like the sieges of Rhodes and Malta, and the Templars' downfall.
