Description
Book SynopsisBeset by enemies on every side and torn by internal divisions, the crusader kingdoms were a hotbed of intrigue, where your greatest ally might be your natural enemy. Here, for the first time, are all seventeen of Harold Lamb's uncollected crusader stories in one volume.
Trade Review“Lamb knew how to write straight-ahead adventure the way Michelangelo knew how to paint.”—S. M. Stirling
"Rest assured that every single solitary tale within the covers of
Swords From the West is worth reading."—Deuce Richardson,
Cimmerian"As a young writer and history buff, I loved Harold Lamb, and this reprinting of the seventeen so-called "Crusader stories" from
Adventure Magazine reminded me why. . . . His imagination, his gifts of plot and action writing, and his passion for worlds and peoples not white, not western and not like us, make the book a delight to read."—Cecelia Holland,
