Pretty slender volume and a quick read, but picks up on some of the English-side politics that lead up to the Conquest (stuff that wasn't covered in the 1066 Bayeux book) and speculates on some context for Harold's decisions. <br /><br />Also, The Crusades is kind of a must read, at least the swaths on the first two Crusades (the third makes up a big chunk of the book, but echoes Warriors of God in a lot of places). http://www.amazon.com/Crusades-Authoritative-History-Holy-Land/dp/0060787295/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1345382395&sr=1-1&keywords=the+crusades<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639272519068273065noreply@blogger.com
