The scholarship of crusader castles has progressed considerably from the early literature of E.G Rey and Hans Prutz. The earliest literature focused on what an observer most obviously considered when examining the remains of a castle, the remnants of high, thick walls used to defend against enemies. As this was the most apparent function of a castle, the theories that followed were based around the assumption that a castles only purpose was to defend against and enemy. That assumption, combined with pro-colonist views formed theories about the inherent ability of castles to defend the border of the crusader kingdoms against Muslim enemies. Later theories began to incorporate the difference of crusader castle as internal and external, but still
The first book I read this summer was the Man in the High Castle is a book written by Phillip Dicks. The book is a novel based of the paradox that the result of World War 2 was not a ally victory.

Though this certainly isn 't my favorite performance, that honor goes to From Beyond. I 'll get into my feeling on this stuff in a bit.
