Contribute just $19.99 and we will send you one of the greatest historical adventures ever-written for free!

In this gripping novel Louis L'Amour tackles the 12th Century at a time when much of the world was dominated by the Arabs and Muslims. He does it through the eyes of a great adventurer who shows tremendous respect for Arab culture. This book is an undiscovered gem written by the great American author Louis L'Amour, a man who was awarded a gold medal of honor from Congress for his historically based work on the American west.

At the center of The Walking Drum is Kerbouchard, one of L'Amour's greatest heroes. Warrior, lover, scholar, Kerbouchard is a daring seeker of knowledge and fortune bound on a journey of enormous challenge, danger and revenge. From castle to slave gallery, from sword-racked battlefields to a princess's secret chamber, and ultimately, to the impregnable fortress of the Valley of Assassins. He travels throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia on his journey and overcomes numerous obstacles along the way.

This is just the kind of book that we all need to read, it is refreshing, exciting, historically accurate and sheds a positive light on the Arab contributions to modern civilization. Imagine if John Grisham wrote a book that portrayed the Arab world as far more advanced than Europe in the 12th Century -- well that is what Louis L'Amour did and he did it quite well. The great library of Cordoba, the advances in medicine, science, philosophy, astronomy, the classics and more.

Give it to your children as an entertaining way to learn 12th Century history. It makes a great gift for the holidays. And it provides a counterbalance to the negative stereotypes of Arab and Muslim culture portrayed in our media today.
