The Last Templar Reviews

This is probably the definitive account not only of de Molay, but also of the political and financial factors at play in the closing years of the Temple. * Fortean Times *
Scrupulously detailed. * The Times *
A scrupulously scholarly analysis. * Times Literary Supplement *
A well researched and thorough book. * Observer *
A complex story of greed, chivalry, and, ultimately, execution * Good Book Guide *
If you're tired of the Da Vinci Code school of history then this erudite volume will come as a welcome relief. -- Andy Cannon * Catholic Herald *
