Review:
"A fresh, muscular and compelling history of the ultimate military-religious crusading order, combining sensible scholarship with narrative swagger, featuring a cast of exuberantly monstrous sword-swingers spattering Christian and Islamic blood from Spain to Jerusalem." —Simon Sebag Montefiore, author, Jerusalem: The Biography
"Dan Jones has created a gripping page-turner out of the dramatic history of the Templars, from their spiritual warrior beginnings until their tragic destruction by the French king and the pope. It is genuinely moving and a chilling contemporary warning about the abuse of power through persecution and lies." —Philippa Gregory, author, The White Queen
"The story of the Templars, the ultimate holy warriors, is an extraordinary saga of fanaticism, bravery, treachery and betrayal, and in Dan Jones they have a worthy chronicler. The Templars is a wonderful book!" —Bernard Cornwall, author, The Last Kingdom
"Fast-paced narrative history depicted with irresistible verve, bloody battle scenes and moments of laugh-out-loud wit . . . This is another triumphant tale from a historian who writes as addictively as any page-turning novelist." —Observer
"A fascinating story of fanaticism . . . Jones is certainly an entertainer, but also a fine historian who knows how to render serious scholarship into accessible prose. Seldom does one find serious history that is so easy to read." —Times
"Jones carries the Templars through the crusades with clarity and verve. This is unabashed narrative history, fast-paced and full of incident . . . Jones tells their story extremely well." —Sunday Times
