Deserves a spot on your coffee table & taken on public transit to read imho
Maybe flip it every so often so people can read the back

A riveting account of the lives and epic battles of eight Western defenders against violent Islamic jihad that sheds much-needed light on the enduring conflict with radical Islam.
In Defenders of the West, the author of Sword and Scimitar follows up with vivid and dramatic profiles of eight extraordinary warriors—some saints, some sinners—who defended the Christian West against Islamic invasions. Discover the real Count Dracula, Spain’s El Cid, England’s Richard Lionheart, and many other historical figures, whose true and original claim to fame revolved around their defiant stance against jihadist aggression. Defenders of the West is an instructive and inspiring read. Whereas Sword and Scimitar revolved around decisive battles, Defenders of the West revolves around decisive men.

I saw the painting used on the cover hanging at Versailles. Charles Martel crushing the Muslim horde.

Going with the folklore version, I see.

Fantastic book. I had my son do a school project on Skanderbeg after reading that. Sword and Scimitar is also a must-read. It's the previous book by the same author that gives the whole story of the conflict between Islam and the Christian West.
