Publisher Marketing:
A riveting account of the lives and epic battles of eight Western defenders against violent Islamic jihad that sheds much-needed light on the enduring conflict with radical Islam.
In
Defenders of the West, the author of
Sword and Scimitar follows up with vivid and dramatic profiles of eight extraordinary warriors--some saints, some sinners--who defended the Christian West against Islamic invasions. Discover the real Count Dracula
, Spain's El Cid, England's Richard Lionheart, and many other historical figures, whose true and original claim to fame revolved around their defiant stance against jihadist aggression.
Defenders of the West is an instructive and inspiring read. Whereas
Sword and Scimitar revolved around decisive battles,
Defenders of the West revolves around decisive
men.
