Title: A bargain just for the bibliography
Review: This gives a once-over look at the history of the order, from what seems to be a very English point of view (nothing wrong with that) that can get to be dry "history book" reading sometimes. BUT, Mr. Burman has a bundle of contemporary sources, French, Latin, and Arabic sources, that really give this handy little book a surprising amount of depth for being "cursory".An excellent complement to a study of the Order, or of the Crusades, or of medieval history in general.
Is the review positive or negative?
