I’ve been meaning to study the crusades but a lot of modern western papers on it predictably blame Christians so I want to find a good unbiased book on it
Robert Spencer is a polemicist though. If you want an objective history of the Crusades that is not blaming Christians, I would recommend Thomas F. Madden's A New Concise History of the Crusades.
Actually, the work of crusade historians is generally not at all anti-Christian, except if you read anti-Crusader polemicists like Runciman. The portrayal of the Crusades as unprovoked aggression is very common in pop culture, but nowhere to be found in the works of historians.
Some Indian scholars estimate more than 200 million Hindu dead from the various Islamic invasions of India.

The Crusades were defensive wars launched after decades of Muslim predation on Christian pilgrims headed to Palestine.
Islam has a very long history of savagery unmatched by anyone.

Robert Spencer literally wrote the book on it.
Thanks!
