About This Item
New York : M. Evans & Co, 1991. First Edition. Hardback. Fine cloth copy in a very good, slightly edge-nicked and dust-dulled dw, now mylar-sleeved. Price-clipped. Remains particularly and surprisingly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and strong. Provenance: From the library of L. P. Coomer with his bookplate to front pastedown.; 8vo 8"" - 9"" tall; 494 pages; Physical description: xiv, 494 p. : maps ; 24 cm. Summary: Over the past thousand years, the bloodiest game of the king-of-the-hill has been for supremacy on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the site of the ancient Temple of Solomon. This book recounts the stirring saga of the Knights Templar, the Christian warrior-monks who occupied the sacred Mount in the aftermath of the butchery of the First Crusade. Dungeon, Fire & Sword is a brilliant work of narrative history that can be read as an adventure story, a morality play, or a lesson in the politics of warfare. Subjects: Templars (Order of chivalry) - History. Crusades - History.
