The website updated with news of the new book. Men being thrown off battlements, heroic looking crusaders whacking unfortunate Muslims. To look at you'd think this is a Christian victory, rather than the crusaders' last stand in the Holy Land at the siege of Acre 1291. It's of course a completely unhistorical piece of nineteenth century French romanticism. The book will offer something more factual, but hopefully as gripping in its own way...
