    Boston:Little,Brown and Company(1992); ISBN 0-316-54556-2;322 Pages; Trade Paperback. Illustrated.
    • From the tales of chivalrous knights to the barbarity of trial by ordeal, no era has been a greater source of awe, horror, and wonder than the Middle Ages. In handsomely crafted prose, and with the grace and authority of his extraordinary gift for narrative history, William Manchester leads us from a civilization tottering on the brink of collapse to the grandeur of its rebirth - the dense explosion of energy that spawned some of history\'s greatest poets, philosophers, painters, adventurers, and reformers, as well as some of its most spectacular villains - the Renaissance. William Manchester is Professor of History Emeritus at Wesleyan University, Middletown, Connecticut. Contents include:

      • Acknowledgments and OF GOD: RICHARD THE LIONHEARTED AND SALADIN IN THE THIRD CRUSADE- by James Reston, Jr.
        New York:Anchor Books/Random House(2001); ISBN 0-355-49562-5;410 Pages; Trade Paperback. Illustrated.
        • Warrior\'s of God is the rich and engaging account of the Third Crusade (1187-1192), a conflict that would shape world history for centuries and which can still be felt in the MiddleEast and throughout the world today. Acclaimed writer James Reston, Jr., offers a gripping narrative of the epic battle that left Jerusalem in Muslim hands until the twentieth century, bringing an objective perspective to the gallantry, greed, and religious fervor that fueled the bloody clash between Christians and Muslims. As he recounts this rousing story, Reston brings to life the two legendary figures who led their armies against each other. He offers compelling portraits of Saladin, the wise and highly cultured leader who created a united empire, and Richard the Lionheart, the romantic personification of chivalry who emerges here in his full complexity and contradictions. From its riveting scenes of blood-soaked battles to its pageant of fascinating, larger-than-life characters, Warriors of God is essential history, history that helps us understand today\'s world.
