Summary: An Important Book to Read
Comment: This book is about dualism. A dualism is created when a human thinks about two antagonistic principles such as God/Satan, good/evil, light/darkness, mind/body, etc. Markale is a teacher. People who are beginners on the subject of dualism will certainly benefit from Markale's rather simple style of writing. Markale's book focuses on the dualisms used by the Carthars. The thought of the Cathars are very similar to the thoughts of Christians. Unfortunately, the thoughts of the Cathars were silenced by the Inquisition.
I recommend this book because the current good/evil dualism of Christianity is being rejected rapidly by keen Christians. This failing dualism of Christianity, which is also known as Original Sin, is the good/evil story of Adam and Eve told by Moses in the Genesis. Along with the rapid rejection of this Christian dualism, the Christian theory of eschatology will also be rejected by these keen Christians. The loss of the Christian theory of eschatology means that our world has no end, which means that Heaven and Hell are false ideas. All Christian should consider this book in order to prepare for the radical changes that are certain to come in Christianity soon.

Summary: Another pulp history, not as good as Holy Blood, Holy Grail
Comment: The book says ostensibly very little about Montsegur or the mystery related to the fall of the castle during the Albigensian crusades. It has a nice section of reviewing some of cites, such as major castles where Cathars, hid from their persecutors; it has a section dedicated to some of the heresies; it expounds on the role of heresies for the society of the middle ages.
I found the book lacking in each of these areas. For those interested in the chronology of events, try "The Albigensian Crusades" by Stryer. Those interested in mysteries should try "Holy Blood, Holy Grail"; those interested in Cathars, should try "The Cathars in Lanquedoc".
