“[Crowley] offers exquisitely delicate insights and undulating
descriptive passages. Yet in his descriptions of the battles, his
prose is so taut and tense, it is impossible not to be caught up in
the harrowing action.”—Christian Science Monitor
“A masterly narrative that captures the religious fervor, brutality
and mayhem of this intensive contest.”—Kirkus Reviews,
starred review
“Gripping . . . This is a rare combination of a history book that
reads with the detail, insight and pace

| 內容簡介: |
In 1521, Suleiman the Magnificent, Muslim ruler of the Ottoman
來源:香港大書城megBookStore,http://www.megbook.com.hk Empire, dispatched an invasion fleet to the Christian island of
Rhodes. This would prove to be the opening shot in an epic clash
between rival empires and faiths for control of the Mediterranean
and the center of the world. In Empires of the Sea, acclaimed
historian Roger Crowley has written a thrilling account of this
brutal decades-long battle between Christendom and Islam for the
soul of Europe, a fast-paced tale of spiraling intensity that
ranges from Istanbul to the Gates of Gibraltar. Crowley conjures up
a wild cast of pirates, crusaders, and religious warriors
struggling for supremacy and survival in a tale of slavery and
galley warfare, desperate bravery and utter brutality. Empires of
the Sea is a story of extraordinary color and incident, and
provides a crucial context for our own clash of
civilizations.
