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.
