The Templars by Piers Paul Read (kkunker)
kkunker: For a brief novel style overview Read is good. For a more academic in-depth study go with Barber.

If you want to know what the Templars were *really* about, start here. You'll need a cup of tea/coffee/whatever - Barber is an historian, not a novelist, and it shows.

(If you are looking for the Grail, for conspiracies, etc., this book will disappoint you sorely. Read it anyway)....

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0521558727, Paperback)

The Order of the Temple, founded in 1119 to protect pilgrims around Jerusalem, developed into one of the most influential corporations in the medieval world. It has retained its hold on the modern imagination, thanks to the dramatic events of the Templars' trial and abolition two hundred years later, and has been invoked in historical mysteries from masonic conspiracy to the survival of the Turin shroud. Malcolm Barber's lucid narrative separates myth from history in this full and detailed account of the Order, from its origins, flourishing and suppression to the Templars' historical afterlife.
