The Last Crusaders: East, West, and the Battle for the Center of the World by Barnaby Rogerson
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.6 MB
Overview: An exploration of the later Crusades, written “with the skill of a historian and the flair of a novelist”.
The Crusades were the bridge between medieval and modern history, between feudalism and colonialism. In many ways, the little explored later Crusades were the most significant of them all, for thy made the crisis truly global. The Last Crusaders is about the period’s last great conflict between East and West, and the titanic contest between Hapsburg-led Christendom and the Ottoman Empire in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. From the great naval campaigns and the ferocious struggle to dominate the North African shore, the conflict spread out along trade routes, consuming nations and cultures, destroying dynasties, and spawning the first colonial empires in South America and the Indian Ocean.
