Defenders of the West

The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam

De: Raymond Ibrahim

Narrado por: John McLain

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.

Sources Driven

Refreshing to see the period examined through primary sources to undermine the current ideological “consensus,” on the opic.

Excellent Historical Record

Brilliant telling of the West’s greatest heroes story based upon both Christian and Islamic sources.

Prescient and Incisive

There is a reason that western civilization has become vacuous and the void is being filled by political Islam. Please listen to this book.

truth transparency

Enjoyed

I enjoyed learning about these legends. Felt like the reading could have had a little more excitement.

The reason we aren’t Muslim

It’s nice to see the crusades covered honestly and not in a woke, revisionist theme.

The amazing stories of Christian heroes of our past

Ibrahim’s scholarship on these men is unparalleled. These histories should be taught to all young people to help establish not only who these great Defenders of the West were, but who we are today. A must read for any who wish to unveil the events of the past that have been purposefully omitted from modern education.

In the end, we win.

It’s time for the west to wake up and defend. Look into the past to help us know what we are up against.

Performance and historical detail

This was a great book. Solid performance and lots of historical detail. Highly recommended listening for any fans of crusader and medieval history. 6/5 stars.
