Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam - Raymond Ibrahim

A riveting account of the lives and epic battles of eight Western defenders against violent Islamic jihad that sheds much-needed light on the enduring conflict with radical Islam. In Defenders of the West , the author of Sword and Scimitar follows up with vivid and dramatic profiles of eight extraordinary warriors--some saints, some sinners--who defended the Christian West against Islamic invasions. Discover the real Count Dracula , Spain's El Cid, England's Richard Lionheart, and many other historical figures, whose true and original claim to fame revolved around their defiant stance against jihadist aggression. An instructive and inspiring read; whereas Sword and Scimitar revolved around decisive battles, Defenders of the West revolves around decisive men .
