Very thorough - By: A. J. Collantine, 05 Aug 2008
An excellent read. Having heard them mentionedin 'The Da Vinci Code' (film & book), & having visited temple churchin London I was fascinated to learn a little more about them. This book is heavily laced with names & dates & direct extracts from writings of the time. It lays open several possibilities for their demise without the author ever really needing to force his own opinion on you. It's certainly left me wanting to know more about them.

Engrossing read - By: karl kavanagh, 22 Oct 2007
I always hated history as a kid, so i have a lot of catching up to do. I have been led on a journey that i thought would take a couple of years to complete. From Virgil & Homer, to Dante & more modern works from Baigent, Anthony Beevor & William L Shirer. This journey will never end all the while there are books like The Rise & Fall of the Knights Templar. Some history books are more heavily laced with personal opinion than others. This book seems to deal with the facts as far as my cross referencing shows, which if i'm honest could have gone alot further. But it has tempted mein to reading alot more on the subject, & that cannot be a bad thing.
