"Hugh Kennedy's 'Crusader Castles' is a welcome addition to the literature of military architecture. With well-chosen drawing and excellent photographs taken by the author, it provides one of the best-balanced accounts of the fortification of Palestine in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries...Kennedy's approach is to set Crusader work within the wider context of Western European military architecture, in all of its diversity...The result is a thoughtful and illuminating survey of the entire Crusader military building effort in its different phases."Kennedy, Hugh is the author of 'Crusader Castles' with ISBN 9780521799133 and ISBN 0521799139.
