Summary
Empires of the Sea shows the Mediterranean as a majestic and bloody theatre of war. Opening with the Ottoman victory in 1453, it is a breathtaking story of military crusading, Barbary pirates, white slavery, and the Ottoman Empire—and 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.
