I want to welcome everyone to the first reading of book six in my reading series.

This book is called The Last Crusade by Warren E. Carroll.

It came out in 1996, and it is a short book telling of the Crusades who save Spain from communism and death in the Spanish Civil War.

It's the first book I ever read cover to cover on the Spanish Civil War, and it was the one that

left the most lasting impact. So I've talked about the Spanish Civil War, done some episodes

with Thomas on it, did a recent episode with Carl Dahl, and I was thinking about what I wanted

to follow up Israel Shahawks book with. I wanted to get away from that subject, what I wanted to follow up Israel Shahhawk's book with.

I wanted to get away from that subject, but I wanted to get into something that I know a lot of people are interested in.

A lot of people still don't know anything about.

And I like the way Carol comes at this book.

Warren Carroll was a Catholic historian and the founder of Christendom College.

And this book is very well written, and it really, it hits you hard.

So to get an idea of what happened in the war,

he, um, he concentrates on certain aspects of the war,

especially how the church was targeted and how, um,

you know, how Catholic Spain responded.

So before I start, sort of remind everybody about the reading, the watching of movies

and reviewing that Thomas and I are doing, freemandmeonthewall.com forward slash movies.

And my partnership with Annelope hill press anything you order from there if you put in pq all lower case and check out

you get 5% off so I'm going to start reading this one and see how far we get.

This is a weird one because it has never been available in electronic form, no e-books, no anything.

So the only copies that I could find were copies that were basically scanned in.
