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.
