 Justification of plagiarism May 4, 2007
This is an excellent book on the subject but spoiled by the pathetic justification of plagiarism written by Childless, which has no bearing or relationship to the first class work it has marred. Buy it simply for the real authors Addisons work, it is worth it.
Good, but skip the intro March 27, 2007
I don't know why this impressive nineteenth-century history of the Templars, which dismisses the mad theories about the Templars that abounded at the time, has been published with an illiterate introduction filled with new-age nonsense about the Order. The intro is completely unrelated to the rest of the book, which Childress gives no evidence that he even read! Addison would be most offended to have such an unworthy appendage attached to his scholarly work.
 factually incorrect introduction April 2, 2000
13 out of 16 found this review helpful
I was distinctly disappointed in the introduction ~ not only were there several errors in both grammar and syntax, but Hatcher Childress twice quotes the date of Bannockburn as 1324, when in fact it was 10 years ealrier in 1314! Also he states that the day was won by a body of Knights Templar making a final charge late in the day ~ yet the whole content of the rest of the book is all about the Templars being in the very forefront of the fighting. So, why did they wait all day before commiting to the Scots cause at Bannockburn? Otherwise, it is an essentially 'dry' history, with too many footnotes in Latin ~ why no interpration into English? All-in-all, not what I expected,: better volumes are available.lloyd.carey@virgin.net
