Product Description
Review
"* 'Michael Haag, in his well-knit narrative gets through an enormous spread of history'- Daily Telegraph * 'An essential guide for anyone who wants a comprehensive guide to the Templars... a perfect place to begin your quest'- Good Book Guide * 'Admirably comprehensive and balanced'- Birmingham Mail * 'An intriguing and revealing work that surprises and entertains'- Nottingham Evening Post"
Daily Telegraph, 26 July 2008
Michael Haag, in his well-knit narrative, gets through an enormous spread of history, helpfully telling readers what the Bible has to say about the Jewish Temple before running through the Roman, Muslim and Crusader centuries. The after-history of the Templars is dominated by the imaginings of Freemasons and the conspiracy fancies of scarcely distinct alternative historians and novelists.

Format:Paperback
A very imformative book, which is easy to read. It's well researched, well written and comprehensive. I think it is a must for anyone who wants to know more and/or as it says the title, split the myth and the history. Academics might find it to easy a read. But I think it's a brilliant book about a fascinating topic.

Format:Hardcover
Michael Haag's The Templars: History & Myth, is the best book I have read on the history of the Knights Templar. Written for the non-academic reader, it nevertheless is a comprehensive, scholarly approach to a fascinating subject. Anyone who subscribes to some of the modern myths and pseudo histories involving the order should read this book.

Templars and the rubbish made of their existence
