Akin to Potomac’s military profiles series “Richard the Lionheart: The Mighty Crusader” by David Miller is an excellent primer for those interested in Richard the Lionheart and his accomplishments during the third crusade. Mr. Miller is quick and lucid while simultaneously being astoundingly detailed on each of King Richard’s conquests in and around the holy land, all in order to place Richard at the forefront of those leaders considered not just warriors but generals. From capturing Cyprus –a veritable book all in itself- to Richard’s final pact with Saladin Mr. Miller brought a new dimension to me of the red-haired, dynamic warrior king “Melek-Ric.” ( ) no reviews | add a review
King Richard I's personal bravery on the battlefield won him the name 'Lionheart' but as David Miller reveals, his battles and campaigns demonstrate a brilliant grasp of strategy and tactics. The 'Lionheart' was no mere medieval 'head banger' but a thoughtful military leader, the only Crusader commander who managed to get an army to Palestine without going bankrupt in the process.
