Book Reviews of Story of the Crusades (Dover History Coloring Book)

Book Review: "A great way to turn kids off on medieval history."
Summary: 1 Stars

This book is written and illusrated by John Green, a usually reliable writer and artist. I got this book to help me see how the crusaders I am studying might have looked like in battle and ordinary life, what I got was a book that would turn off most people to medieval history. This book depicts all crusaders as being bloodthirsty killers and Catholic fanatics completely lacking in redeeming qualities. The question is not whether the crusaders were all saints, they were not, it is a question of a judgement based on insufficient evidence, in another word prejudice. If you want a coloring book about Medieval people I would recommend the same author's much earlier and less prejudiced "Life in A Medieval Castle and Village".
