God's Battalions

In this provocative audiobook, a respected scholar challenges contemporary liberal narratives by asserting that the Crusades were justified wars fought against Muslim aggression, not unprovoked acts of conquest. Drawing on diverse sources, the author argues that the Crusaders believed they were serving God's will and aimed to protect Christian interests in the Holy Lands. This perspective offers a historical counterpoint to recent debates about religious violence, emphasizing the motives and context of the Crusades.
