Jean Flori's "Richard Lionheart" is very good

Jerusalem by Simon Sebag Montifiore

Very factual. Very little slant.
>>
Thomas Madden has the best books, doesn't he? The most modern ones, based on the latest research.
>>
Jacques Heers is pretty good.
I'm not sure his works are translated though.

Rene Grousset by far, very far. Others seem lame in comparison.
>>364767 is good too.

Joshua Prawer, the Israelian, was also very interesting. Some say he views it too much with the prism of Zionism but that's precisely what is interesting.
