I'm reading a book by Hillaire Belloc about the Crusades. It is so refreshing to get the REAL story on it rather than the modern media's or a revisionist historian's.

.....For variations on this theme, one need not look far. See, for example, Steven Runciman’s famous three-volume epic, History of the Crusades, or the BBC/A&E documentary, The Crusades, hosted by Terry Jones. Both are terrible history yet wonderfully entertaining......

I guess I need to read some more. I thought when I was ploughing through Runciman I was getting the straight poop.

What is the Belloc title?
