5.0 out of 5 stars A "Beginners Guide to the Knights Templar"., 13 Mar 2000
This is an excellent easy to read and digest book giving a good overall view of the history of the Knights Templar. If you are looking for a beginners guide to the Templars then you can do no better than this book.

Quite simply once lifted it is a compelling story, difficult to leave down.

Anyone who is interested in the Templars should not be without a copy of this book!

2.0 out of 5 stars factually incorrect introduction, 2 April 2000
By lloyd.carey@virgin.net (South West England) - See all my reviews
I was distinctly disappointed in the introduction ~ not only were there several errors in both grammar and syntax, but Hatcher Childress twice quotes the date of Bannockburn as 1324, when in fact it was 10 years ealrier in 1314! Also he states that the day was won by a body of Knights Templar making a final charge late in the day ~ yet the whole content of the rest of the book is all about the Templars being in the very forefront of the fighting. So, why did they wait all day before commiting to the Scots cause at Bannockburn? Otherwise, it is an essentially 'dry' history, with too many footnotes in Latin ~ why no interpration into English? All-in-all, not what I expected,: better volumes are available.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but skip the intro, 26 Mar 2007
By G. Napier - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I don't know why this impressive nineteenth-century history of the Templars, which dismisses the mad theories about the Templars that abounded at the time, has been published with an illiterate introduction filled with new-age nonsense about the Order. The intro is completely unrelated to the rest of the book, which Childress gives no evidence that he even read! Addison would be most offended to have such an unworthy appendage attached to his scholarly work.

4.0 out of 5 stars good history except for the introduction
The introduction by David Hatcher Childress is bad history with little relevance to the author's account of the history of the Knights Templars. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Justification of plagiarism
This is an excellent book on the subject but spoiled by the pathetic justification of plagiarism written by Childless, which has no bearing or relationship to the first class work... Read more
