About this product

Product Information

The epic story of the battle for the Holy Land and the two larger-than-life figures at its center. James Reston, Jr., the author ofGalileo: A Life(called "masterful" and "brilliant" by theWashington Post) and the critically laudedThe Last Apocalypse,a stunningly original portrait of the Christian world at the turn of first millennium, now re-creates the collision of the Christian holy wars and the Muslim jihad at the end of the twelfth century. A dual biography of the legendary Richard the Lionheart and the Sultan Saladin, iconic hero of the Islamic world,Warriors of Godrecounts the life of each man and reveals the passions of the times that brought them face-to-face in the final battle of the Third Crusade. Richard the Lionheart, commonly depicted as the romantic personification of chivalry, here emerges in his full complexity and contradictions as Reston examines the dark side of Richard's role as the leader of the blood-soaked Crusades and breaks new ground by openly discussing Richard's homosexuality. Reston's compelling portrait of Saladin brings to life the wise, highly cultured leader who realized an enduring Arab dream by uniting Egypt and Syria and whose conquest of Jerusalem not only sparked the Third Crusade but ignited the first jihad and turned Saladin into a hero of epic proportions. In riveting descriptions, Reston captures the fascinating clash of the two armies as they battled their way to the outskirts of Jerusalem. There, Saladin's brilliant maneuvers and Richard's sudden failure of nerve turned the tide. Sweeping readers into a mesmerizing period of history,Warriors of Godis a provocative look at two towering leaders and the not always noble causes for which they fought.

Reviews
Praise for James Reston, Jr.'sThe Last Apocalypse: "Boldly written... Can the last millenium enlighten the next? Reston ... gives us the question dipped in blood." --Atlantic Journal-Constitution "Reston weaves the poetry of the age; many of the book's most pleasurable passages into his narrative... [A] vivid tale." Business Week "A vivid portrait... [Reston] has an eye for unforgettable detail." Knight RidderNewspaper Praise forGalileo: A Life: "It is to James Reston's credit that his masterful new biography of Galileo Galilei manages to capture... the Renaissance as colorfully as it does, without making his subject seem too much like some time-traveling hero from a more sensible age... a brilliant biography." --Bruno Maddox,Washington Post Book World "A spirited evocation of Galileo's charisma and capacity... fresh, sinewy, and altogether admirable." --Los Angeles Times Book Review
