Yet, there is a lot of mythology surrounding them and Prof. Vidmar does a good job explaining what really happened historically. Now I should read more books on these subjects because this only covers a small portion of both Crusades and the Inquisition. Vidmar sets the record straight. Thorough, balanced, and well-written history of two periods that have been maligned by "Enlightenment" and post-Reformation historians.

John Vidmar has written such a book. As a historian at Providence College who has researched the Crusades and as archivist of the northeastern USA Province of the Dominicans with access to extensive material of which some relates to the Inquisition, he is eminently qualified to do so. He has considered the latest writing on the subjects and provided a balanced assessment of the situation that takes into account the recent work by such outstanding scholars as Philip Jenkins, Christopher Tyerman, and others, and steers a middle course between the extremes.

The author writes with a flair for narrative history and an obvious love of his subject matter. Noteworthy is the way he draws a connection between the Crusades and the Inquisitions and he points out and explain the difference between the Roman and the Spanish Inquisitions. He brings his treatment of the Crusades up to the present day by reflecting on the timely issues of how this segment of our history impacts Christian-Muslim relations today. To anyone interested in reading something that contributes to setting the record straight on the disputed questions of the Crusades and the Inquisition, I would recommend this book.
