- a man who died 800 years ago But who was he & why was he chosen above all others? Born in twelfth-century France & bred for violence Reynald de Chatillon was a young knight who joined the Second Crusade & rose through the ranks to become the pre-eminent figure in the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem
- & one of the most reviled characters in Islamic history In the West Reynald has long been considered a minor player in the Crusades & is often dismissed as having been a bloodthirsty maniac Tales of his elaborate torture of prisoners & his pursuit of reckless wars against friends & foe alike have coloured Reynald's reputation However by using contemporary documents & original research Jeffrey Lee overturns this popular perception & reveals him to be an influential & powerful leader whose actions in the Middle East had a far-reaching impact that endures to this day In telling his epic story God's Wolf not only restores Reynald to his rightful position in history but also highlights how the legacy of the Crusades is still very much alive
