This well-dramatized overview of the Crusades demythologizes the epic clash of Christianity and Islam that spanned two centuries. James Reston, Jr., author of Warriors of God; historians David Nicolle and Micah Halpern; historical geographer Ronnie Ellenblum; Akbar Ahmed, chair of Islamic studies at American University; archaeologist Eliezer Stern, of the Israel Antiquities Authority; and other specialists reveal recent discoveries that bear on military tactics and technology of the era, massacres perpetrated by both sides, and the personalities and motivations of Richard the Lionheart and Saladin. A Discovery Channel Production. (50 minutes)
