A "NEW" concise history? You mean I just read the outdated old concise history of Professor Madden?

I was at the lecture mentioned in this article. Frankly, the speaker was a bit too enthusiastic about the righteousness of the crusades even for one such as myself. A bit of overcorrection, I think.

I'll take overcorrection over political correctness any day.
