Religion has always had its followers, its devotees and its faithful. Religions also attract other religions who disagree, sometimes violently and who believe that there is only one true way. Their way. Once it was firmly established in the West the Christian Religion began a long, and bloodthirsty campaign to re-take what it saw as its just territories and Holy sites from the hands of others. In the case of Jerusalem and the Middle East this meant conflict with Islam a younger and rapidly growing religion. Many of us know the story of the Crusades when soldiers and knights from all over Europe gathered together to fight for the Holy Lands. From their ranks came a devout and focused group, the Knights Templar, who went on to accumulate vast territories and possessions as they fought on behalf of Christendom. Whatever the rights and wrongs of their cause and its ways this historical story is a fascinating insight and account of these remarkable Knights who forsook everything in the cause of bearing arms in the name and defence of Christ. The noted historian and barrister, Charles Greenstreet Addison, has reworked his classic first edition text to bring a more complete and rounded account of The Knights Templar.
