Before Verdun . . . before Stalingrad . . . there was the siege of Acre In the year 1191, an idealistic monk named Roger dreams of becoming a knight and helping to free Jerusalem from the Saracens. When he is unjustly accused of murder, Roger flees for his life and joins the crusade of Richard the Lionheart. In the Holy Land, Roger takes part in the siege of Acre, a two-year meat grinder of death and disease and starvation. He is introduced to the horrors of war and quickly loses his idealism. Rising through the ranks, he becomes commander of a company known as the Death's Heads. He loses one love and finds another, and he suffers a crisis of faith as he watches the largest army ever fielded by Christendom being destroyed while the dream of freeing Jerusalem seems as far away as ever. And all the while, the army waits for the arrival of King Richard, the greatest hero of the age... "Death's Head" illuminates a little-known but significant moment in history, one whose outcome resonates to the present day. It is a story of war and love and the faith that enables ordinary men to perform extraordinary deeds.
