Summary

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. An instructive and inspiring listen; whereas Sword and Scimitar revolved around decisive battles, Defenders of the West revolves around decisive men.

Read if you are native European

this is essential reading for white people in Europe. It dismantles white guilt arguments, explains how modern uses of words like racism, islamaphobic etc. are tools to silence truth.

The world we live in and our countries and people have been assaulted for over a thousand years by a culture and people that hate us because of a book they still read today, a book that hasn't changed since the 6th century.

Not only will the stories of the lives of these 8 men, who are demonised by todays society, inspire you and make you proud of your history. The conclusion outlines how the issues faced in 6th-17th century Jerusalem, Spain and the Balkans, the treatment of non-mohammidans by that community has been nothing but barbaric and violent. And now, we now face the same problems in our own homelands and cities today.
