While this will be brief, as I don't want to go into vast detail as to what is int he book... I will say that Hodapp delivers yet again. I'd also recommend you check out his titles Conspiracy Theories & Secret Societies For Dummies, Templar Code For Dummies, and Freemasons for Dummies if either of those subjects interest you. I highly recommend all of these titles as he really comes through as does Alice Von Kannon in the case for this title, Templar Code, and Conspiracy Theories.

Extremely informative with playful writing interspersed that had me laughing a good bit of the time. Loved getting back into history, especially as it relates to religion.

I enjoy reading books about mysterious things and Templar is a topic that evokes a spirit of mystery. This is a great book for anyone who wants to know everything about the templars there history and what happened to them. Word of warning if you are into the books of dan brown you may want to look away, Christopher Hodapp has got a hate on for Mr Brown and his books. Good read.

VERY informative and interesting. Extremely well written. If you THINK you know a lot about the Knights Templar, read this anyway. If you don't really know much at all, you'll find this a "can't put down" kind of book.

[Ross Heckmann · Rating 5 out of 5]

The author did a very good job of what he set out to do: provide a basic introduction to the Templars. He covered a lot of ground, but it was still fairly easy to understand.

Good non-conspiratorial work. Somewhat repetitious.
