Crusade Against the Grail is the daring book that popularized the legend of the Cathars and the Holy Grail. The first edition appeared in Germany in 1933 and drew upon Rahn's account of his explorations of the Pyrenean caves where the heretical Cathar sect sought refuge during the 13th century.
This book seems to be hastily put together from genuine information, there are instances of entire paragraphs being repeated, terrible grammatical errors and typo's litter the pages. There are numerous suppositions about Rahn himself and what may or may not have been his opinions, whereas Lucifers Court is refreshingly honest about his views on the 'semites' (presumably Mr White is among their number). I dont find anything to suggest that he was a crypto jew as the authors do, just a homosexual who may not have been up to the mark for the SS.
I bought the book thinking this was Rahns other book, and then noticed the II after the title, disingenous indeed.
Their information on the Occitane area is very good, sometimes a bit too sycophantic to particular locals, but good none the less.I bought the Otto Rahn trail book at the same time thinking the later was the guide book to the area and not just a very similar mini version of this book. Fourty quid I will not get back and generally a bit sloppy.
