Empires of the Sea: The Siege of Malta, the Battle of Lepanto, and the Contest for the Center of the World
Date undefinednot a student of this subject - it sure opened my eyes - well written - kind of like Erik
Larsen's (Devil in the White City) powers of description - or more so
Empires of the Sea: The Siege of Malta, the Battle of Lepanto, and the Contest for the Center of the World
Date undefinedA great read. Authoritative description of the wars waged in the name of religious good both Christian and Muslim. Sad to think so much suffering resulted from religious zeal. The battles documented here give background to our current troubles with some parts of the Muslim world.
Empires of the Sea: The Siege of Malta, the Battle of Lepanto, and the Contest for the Center of the World
Date undefinedA very well done book on a subject many people know nothing about.
Since I had visted Turkey, Rhodes, Malta, Create, Tunisia, and many of the Greek islands, I found the book a fasinating look at histroy.
