Temporary Crusaders is a book written by Cecil Sommers. The book is a historical fiction that takes place during the Crusades, a series of holy wars fought between the Christian and Muslim armies in the 11th to 13th centuries. The story follows the journey of a group of knights who are temporarily recruited to fight in the Crusades. The knights come from different backgrounds and have different motivations for joining the war, but they all share a common goal of serving their lord and God.As they travel through the Holy Land, the knights face various challenges and obstacles, including battles with the Muslim armies, disease, and betrayal from within their own ranks. The book explores themes of loyalty, faith, and the consequences of war. It also delves into the complexities of the Crusades, including the political and religious motivations behind them.Overall, Temporary Crusaders is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a unique perspective on one of the most significant events in medieval history.We reached the battalion about midnight, and found it in extended order, waiting to carry on with the advance. There was a good deal of rifle and machine-gun fire going on, and it was very difficult to get one's bearings. The line was stretched across the middle of a great saddle of rock, covered with scrub and huge boulders, and bounded on both sides by a deep ravine, falling away almost perpendicularly for fifteen hundred feet. This, of course, I did not know at the time, but found it out on our way back later.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
