The Knights Templar and The crusades.
Per the title, I'm after a good book that covers the entire history of The Knights Templar and The crusades. Does anyone have any recommendations please?Thanks guys.

Now, there's a bast from the past. I enjoyed reading this, but not sure about the factual content!
However, you could try Holy Blood & the Holy Grail by Michael Baigent - the book Brown based a lot of the content on. It does cover the Knights as well as the Holy Grail story. Give these a try "The Templar Knight" (Crusades Trilogy) by Jan Guillou, not history as such but a damn fine read.
For a no frills historical account try
The Templars: The Dramatic History of the Knights Templar, by Piers Paul Read. If you have a kindle the following is only 37p:
The History of the Knights Templar eBook: Charles Addison: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store Thanks guys.
I've actually gone with the revised version of Holy Blood & The Holy Grail for the moment. That sould keep me busy for a bit. I do hope you have been watching this Mr Quint.
BBC Two - The Crusades, Holy War I think it was part four I caught the other night.
