520    "In a 2010 terrorist plot, Al-Qaeda hid a bomb in a FedEx 
       shipment addressed to a man who had been dead for 800 
       years. Born in twelfth-century France and bred for 
       violence, Reynald de Chatillon was a young knight who 
       joined the Second Crusade and rose through the ranks to 
       become the preeminent figure in the crusader Kingdom of 
       Jerusalem, chief foe of the Muslim leader Saladin, and one
       of the most reviled characters in Islamic history. In the 
       West, Reynald has long been considered a minor player in 
       the crusading saga, and is often dismissed as a 
       bloodthirsty maniac who brought disaster on his fellow 
       crusaders. However, by using contemporary documents and 
       original research, Jeffrey Lee overturns this popular 
       perception and questions other prejudices about the 
       crusades that underlie modern misunderstandings of the 
       Middle East. God's Wolf shows how the crusader kingdom was
       brought down by a treacherous internal faction, rather 
       than by Reynald's belligerence. In fact, despite Reynald's
       brutality, Lee argues that he was a strong military leader
       and an effective statesman, whose actions in the Middle 
       East had a far-reaching impact that endures to this day. 
       An epic saga set in the midst of a violent clash of 
       civilizations, God's Wolf is the fascinating story of an 
       exceptional crusader and a provocative reinterpretation of
       the crusading era."--Jacket.
