Description
Empires of the Sea presents the Mediterranean as a majestic and bloody theatre of war. Opening with the Ottoman victory in 1453, it delivers a breathtaking story of military crusading, Barbary pirates, white slavery, and the Ottoman Empire, all set against the larger picture of the struggle between Islam and Christianity.
Coupled with dramatic set-piece battles, a wealth of riveting first-hand accounts, epic momentum, and a terrific denouement at Lepanto, this is a work of history at its broadest and most compelling.
