Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam

內容簡介

內容簡介 A riveting account of the lives and epic battles of eight Western defenders against violent Islamic jihad that sheds much-needed light on the enduring conflict with radical Islam. In Defenders of the West, the author of Sword and Scimitar follows up with vivid and dramatic profiles of eight extraordinary warriors--some saints, some sinners--who defended the Christian West against Islamic invasions. Discover the real Count Dracula, Spain's El Cid, England's Richard Lionheart, and many other historical figures, whose true and original claim to fame revolved around their defiant stance against jihadist aggression. Defenders of the West is an instructive and inspiring read. Whereas Sword and Scimitar revolved around decisive battles, Defenders of the West revolves around decisive men.

A former Arabic linguist at the Library of Congress, Ibrahim has also been a guest lecturer at numerous prestigious institutions--such as the National Defense Intelligence College and the U.S. Army War College--and has testified before Congress and spoken at various international forums.
