I have just finished reading Rodney Stark's God's Battalions. I had read Stark's The Rise of Christianity years ago and enjoyed it very much. In this volume, Stark takes a careful look at the Crusades in light of the various historical and hysterical claims about them. I feel that Stark is one of the first authors in recent memory who takes an unbiased view of the actual events. I strongly recommend this book.
