Defenders of the West

The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam

De: Raymond Ibrahim

Narrado por: John McLain

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.

Inconvenient truth regarding Islam and historical fact

I’ll keep it short: The religion of Islam is not a religion of peace, and has been more destructive to humanity and to entire civilizations, than any other force on earth. Even the great Khan’s cannot match the destructive force of incessant brutality that has been thrust on nations and people over 1423 years shaping history in contorted ways that begs the question…why do we let such reckless people run rot shod over innocence? Why does the Left defend it? Note the current situation with HAMAS and other surrogates of Iran in their question to animate the Jew and the Gentile of the West. The rage never ends. It is the religions doctrine.

You be the judge, but base the judgment on fact, not modern political fiction masquerading as social justice.

An excellent and most eye opening account .

This is a "must read" or "must listen to" book by every person who profess the Christian faith! Note how the enemy of our souls sows division and corruption amongst the Christian leadership but in spite of this these heros stand firm to defend the faith.

Required reading

This, along with the Sword and Scimitar, is absolutely required reading for everyone everywhere. That’s all. Learn your history and you’ll thank the author and those men highlighted herein for making it possible for you to breathe today.

Real history for the non-revisionists

Wow. What a breath of fresh air. This is actually real, unapologetic history of the crusades here. Or rather, noted standouts who have stood the test of time. Raymond Ibrahim is a man who makes no apologies God bless him. He’s one in a billion today. We need more writers and historians like him. This book will have history buffs who long for the unadulterated truth cheering.

Sources Driven

Refreshing to see the period examined through primary sources to undermine the current ideological “consensus,” on the opic.

Excellent Historical Record

Brilliant telling of the West’s greatest heroes story based upon both Christian and Islamic sources.

Prescient and Incisive

There is a reason that western civilization has become vacuous and the void is being filled by political Islam. Please listen to this book.

truth transparency

Enjoyed

I enjoyed learning about these legends. Felt like the reading could have had a little more excitement.

The reason we aren’t Muslim

It’s nice to see the crusades covered honestly and not in a woke, revisionist theme.
