Resumen del Editor

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.

Real history for the non-revisionists

Wow. What a breath of fresh air. This is actually real, unapologetic history of the crusades here. Or rather, noted standouts who have stood the test of time. Raymond Ibrahim is a man who makes no apologies God bless him. He’s one in a billion today. We need more writers and historians like him. This book will have history buffs who long for the unadulterated truth cheering.

Fascinating and informative

A worthy follow-up to his previous book Sword and Scimitar, truly informative and interesting.

Why does man seek to destroy and distort history

Vary sobering and makes me angry my generation is ignorant and self diluting I pray we will once again regain the fire and fortitude of great men like this.

Stunning Inspiration and sobering realizations.

“They were Just men”. A critical read for all those of the faith and beyond.

Godly Christ men!

excellent book! everyone throughout Chrisindom should read this! and it is one that all of my children will be reading for achool.

The legends are real

The knights in shining armor, the warrior monks and the crusader kings are all real. We’re descendentes of heroes. This is epic.

Excellent as usual

Ibrahim always delivers using source material and bringing historical figures to life. So much is intentionally taught incorrectly about the crusades and Ibrahim always brings the evidence to set the record straight. Can’t recommend this enough especially when coupled with Sword and Scimitar!

Wow

Wow great listen - not sure how you can argue with this, but I’m sure they will. Who is they?

Light shone on an often misrepresented period in history.

This gives the listeners an interesting and edifying look into an important aspect of our current global circumstances. A perspective not heard enough in modurnity.

Inconvenient truth regarding Islam and historical fact

I’ll keep it short: The religion of Islam is not a religion of peace, and has been more destructive to humanity and to entire civilizations, than any other force on earth. Even the great Khan’s cannot match the destructive force of incessant brutality that has been thrust on nations and people over 1423 years shaping history in contorted ways that begs the question…why do we let such reckless people run rot shod over innocence? Why does the Left defend it? Note the current situation with HAMAS and other surrogates of Iran in their question to animate the Jew and the Gentile of the West. The rage never ends. It is the religions doctrine.

You be the judge, but base the judgment on fact, not modern political fiction masquerading as social justice.
