The Templars were one of many religious orders that arose in Europe and the East during the Middle Ages, but by far the most illustrious and mysterious. Starting very modestly, the Order of the Temple quickly became the most powerful organization of its time, and its knights became semi-legendary characters. The destruction of the Order in the early fourteenth century shook the Christian world. The end of the Templars came so suddenly and was so cruel that gave rise to new legends about them. And today, when more than seven centuries have passed since the defeat of the Order, the Templars are not forgotten: interest in them does not fade, they want to imitate, and someone is literally obsessed with them. Who really were the Knights of the Order of the Temple? British historian Dan Jones is convinced that much of the history of the Templars finds a powerful echo in today's day. His book - not only about the Knights of the Temple Order, but also about the endless war in Palestine, Syria and Egypt, an international organization more powerful than some governments, the connection between finance and geopolitics, the power of propaganda and myth-making, and finally, about cruelty, treachery and betrayal.
