Throughout The Medieval Era, The Holy Land Was A Fiercely Contested Battlefield, Fought Over By Huge Muslim And Christian Armies, By Zealots And Assassins. The Third Crusade, Spanning Five Years At The End Of The 12Th Century, Was, Writes James Reston Jr. In This Absorbing Account, 'Holy War At Its Most Virulent,' Overseen By Two Great Leaders, The Kurdish Sultan Salah Addin, Or Saladin, And The English King Richard, Forevermore Known As Lionheart. Writing With A Keen Sense Of Historical Detail And Drama, Reston Traces The Complex Path By Which Saladin And Richard Came To Face Each Other On The Field Of Battle. The Crusades, He Observes, Began 'As A Measure To Redirect The Energies Of Warring European Barons From Their Bloody, Local Disputes Into A Noble Quest To Reclaim The Holy Land From The Infidel.' Of The Five Crusades Over 200 Years, Only The First Was Successful, To The Extent That The Christian Armies Were Able To Conquer Their Objective Of Jerusalem. The Third Crusade, As Reston Ably Shows, Was Complicated By Fierce Rivalries Among The Christian Leaders, By A Chain Of Military Disasters That Led To The Destruction Of An Invading German Army And Its Emperor, And By The Dedication Of An Opposing Islamic Army That Shared Both A Goal And A Language. Saladin, Reston Writes, Was A Brilliant Leader And A Merciful Victor, But Capable Of Costly Errors; Richard Was Extraordinarily Skilled At Combat, But His Lack Of Resolve Cost Him Many Battles, And, Ultimately, Jerusalem. Richard Returned To Europe, Saladin To Damascus. Neither Leader Has Long To Live, And The Peace They Made Would Soon Be Broken. James Restons Splendid Book Does Them Both Honor While Examining A Conflict That Has Never Really Ended. 'Gregory Mcnamee'
