Library Book

1.  I saw this book and I was interested in the crusades and I would like to know more about the crusades.
2.  The book has one author named Jay Williams
3.  Knights of the Crusades
4.  Harper & Row Publishers
5.  New York City, 1965

The Book, Knights of the Crusades, highlights the history of the crusades and the men who fought in the wars which lasted over 200 years.  This book interested me because everyone knows about the crusades but not many people actually know the in def history of crusades and how much this impacted world history after these great wars waged in name of religion.  The men who crusaded were deeply rooted in the christian faith and many of them flowed the Pope's word to the core.  This phrase "lieu le veult"-"god wills it"(Knights of the Crusades, 32) was a common phrase coined by Peter the Hermit to rally up the common people to support the crusades.  This phrase reminds why it is very important to have separation between church and state.
