[> [> [> Re: Just 1 book? -- Phil, 16:08:10 02/14/08 Thu [1] (71-223-7-96.phnx.qwest.net/71.223.7.96)

I have read numerous books on these subjects. I studied Euro Medieval History in college and have a degree in the history...along with Poli Sci and Social Sci. I have traveled extensively and lived in other Euro countries: Britain (where I studied), Germany, Ireland and briefly in Italy. Thus, I have an extensive background in these topics.

For example, I wrote a lengthy term ppr (nearly 50 pages) on The Fourth Crusade, the 1 where the Crusaders sacked Christian Constantinople 'en route' to the Holy Land. The Pope failed to ex-comm the leaders of this debacle, while he was having others burned at the stake for heresy. I cited archeology, docs, and even eye-witness accts of this sordid affair. So plz dont lecture me abt this when I'm the 1 with the pedigree.

Still, In the basis of fairness, I will attempt to get ahold of book and get back to you. What is the name of the book? And plz dont tell me it was wtn by a Church hack, commissioned to write it by the Vatican. I don't pay much attn to biased accts, wtn by those with a revisionist agenda.

Take care, God Bless,

Phil from cool AZ
