		The Third Crusade, spanning five years at the end of the 12th century, was, writes James Reston Jr.
		The Third Crusade, as Reston ably shows, was complicated by fierce rivalries among the Christian leaders, by a chain of military disasters that led to the destruction of an invading German army and its emperor, and by the dedication of an opposing Islamic army that shared both a goal and a language.
		Chronicling the often inglorious exploits during the third crusade (1187-1192) of King Richard I of England and Saladin, the sultan of Egypt, Syria, Arabia and Mesopotamia, Reston's panoramic narrative begins with the first crusade, launched by Pope Urban II in the last years of the 11th century.

		Lionhearts is the story of the Third Crusade (1189 to 1192), which sent thousands of men into a holy war.
		Regan is a skillful writer, and his pages are peppered with vivid odds and ends: pious crusaders operating "God's own catapult"; Saladin sending a gift of snow and fruit to Richard I, preparing to besiege Acre; small rodents called jerboas leaping up and alarming the crusaders.
		Regan points out that this is one of the most amazing incidents in the entire history of military affairs during the crusade, or even during the medieval period.
