Specificatii
Centuries of warfare in Europe between the western and eastern
worlds It is difficult for many contemporary readers to imagine a
time when the European and Christian world was constantly at threat
from the huge invading armies of the East and the Islamic world. In
732 AD the Umayyad Moors were defeated in battle between Poitiers
and Tours just 12 miles from Paris. However, the principal
incursions of the ensuing 800 years came from the Ottoman Turkish
empire, which fought to establish its grip on Europe well into the
18th century. For example, Eugene of Savoy, Marlborough's famous
military ally, first fought in those wars. This book, taken from
Creasy's more expansive work on the history of the Ottoman Empire,
concentrates on the period from the first invasions of Europe by
the Turks, to the period of imperial stagnation and the slow
decline of Ottoman power. Within this pages are accounts of the
sieges of Constantinople and the fall of Byzantium, the sieges of
Vienna, the fall of Rhodes and the resistance of Malta, the Battle
of Lepanto and the many other battles and conflicts fought across
eastern Europe by the Austrians, Hungarians, Poles, Serbs and
others in order to hold the advancing crescent banner at bay. This
is a fascinating account of the collision between the cultures and
faiths of east and west that has been all but forgotten by those
who were not on its perennial front line. Leonaur editions are
newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in
softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth
bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric
head and tail bands.
