The Fifth Crusade with Thomas Smith

from The 15 Minute Book Club

The Fifth Crusade was unlike any other. It was the first to invade Egypt, a story filled with adventure and intrigue, yet it often gets overshadowed by its predecessors. Dr. Thomas Smith joins us to tell the untold tale of this epic campaign, where the Crusaders faced more than just battles; they encountered a land filled with ancient history and the remnants of powerful empires.Patreon members get extra time: 15 more minutes, in which you get to see behind the scenes and find out how the book was written.
