The Templars: The Rise and Fall of God's Holy Warriors (Russian Edition)
The Templars were one of the many religious orders that arose in Europe and the East during the Middle Ages, but without a doubt the most famous and mysterious. From humble beginnings, the Order of the Temple quickly grew into the most powerful organization of its time, with its knights becoming semi-legendary figures. The destruction of the order at the beginning of the XIV century shocked the Christian world. The end of the Templars came so suddenly and was so cruel that it gave rise to new legends about them. And today, when more than seven centuries have passed since the defeat of the order, the Templars are not forgotten: interest in them does not fade away, they want to imitate, and someone is literally obsessed with them. Who were the Knights of the Order of the Temple really? British historian Dan Jones is convinced that much in the history of the Templars finds a powerful echo in today. His book is not only about the Knights of the Temple, but also about the endless war in Palestine, Syria and Egypt; about an international organization more powerful than some governments; about the connection between finance and geopolitics; about the power of propaganda and myth-making; finally, about cruelty, treachery and betrayal.
