'Exhilarating, epic, sword-swinging history' TLS  'Jones is certainly an entertainer, but also a fine historian who knows how to render serious scholarship into accessible prose' The Times  'Another triumphant tale from a historian who writes as addictively as any page-turning novelist' Observer  'When it comes to rip-roaring medieval narratives, Jones has few peers, and in the Templars he finds the perfect subject' Sunday Times  The Knights Templar were the wealthiest, most powerful - and most secretive - of the military orders that flourished in the crusading era.  Their story - encompassing as it does the greatest international conflict of the Middle Ages, a network of international finance, a swift rise in wealth and influence followed by a bloody and humiliating fall - has left a comet's tail of mystery that continues to fascinate and inspire historians, novelists and conspiracy theorists.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45740543967451,"sku":"9781781858929-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9781781858929-us-300.jpg?v=1718541857","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781781858929-secondhand-the-templars","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
