The reader is given geo-political context, details on the weaponry, logistics and much else. What is clear is the sheer ferocity and brutality of the fighting in this historically significant battle. This very well produced volume gives an excellent and highly readable account of one of history’s turning points. A valuable addition to the library of all those with an interest in Ottoman, Holy League, Mediterranean and geo-political history of the middle renaissance.
