About this listen
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 listen; whereas Sword and Scimitar revolved around decisive battles, Defenders of the West revolves around decisive men.

Fascinating
Defenders of the West covers the life and influence of some of Christianities greatest and forgotten warriors. This is a unique book. One of the only contemporary titles that unashamedly celebrates our Christian heroes. No woke self flagellating. Very refreshing!

Outstanding!
An extraordinary book! Wonderful and yet disturbing. Most definitely worth listening to on audible. The men covered in this book were true hero’s. They saved millions of people from living under centuries of oppression (for more on those who did not escape, read ‘The Third Choice’ by Mark Durie).

BRILLIANT
Superbly written, history as it should be, mostly from primary sources (or as we would call them in news, eye witness accounts) with no academic overlays, graphically illustrating what a profoundly evil influence Islam has been on world history. Should be compulsory reading for Penny Wong, the baleful foreign minister of Australia, and actually compulsory reading for all high school students and starry eyed lefties.

Great overview of the Crusades and some leading figures
I had very little knowledge of the crusades, the Ottoman Empire, and the Christian heroes. This book filled in a lot of gaps.
