The True Story of the Last Battle of the Crusades

By: Anthony C. Robinson

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

An epic fact-supported re-telling of the final battle that closed the era of the Crusades, the Siege of Acre in 1291. Written as a politically incorrect short story with historical sources and told from the point of view of a fictional crusading knight, Sir Thomas. This epic true story of valor and violence in the Holy Land is recounted in all its grand detail from the political workings in Europe right down to the gritty fighting in the streets of Acre. This is the most accurate account of the last battle of the Crusades.

The focus of courage within a hopeless situation.

I don’t like that is is narrated by AI. That would have ruined it had it been longer. However, what a wonderful snapshot of the tragic beauty that captivates audiences about such a controversial time in history. I have read every book I can get my hands on about the Crusades. Within all of the accounts… the magnificent and the horrific, there is always the undertone of courage. You have to respect the men who marched so far from home to wage war over an idea. Most would never return but the tragic beauty often resides in what they left behind. How some of the devout and honorable choose to die will forever be stamped upon history as a testament to the greatness of men.. even when the circumstances turn wretched.
