An outstanding book on the subject, at last. August 13, 2006
47 out of 49 found this review helpful

After so many works of inadequate quality, we have at last an excellent piece of scholarship on the event that in the XVI century saved Europe from Islam. For the first time in more than a century, Niccolo Capponi has written a book based on painstaking archival research and a thorough exam of printed sources. Thus he has managed to correct a number of incorrect statements about the battle, that almost all modern authors repeat in parrot fashion. The fundamental role played by superior Western technology, already suggested by Fernand Braudel, is here explored in depth and ample credit is given to the decisive, devastating, effect of Christian artillery.
Although of high scholarly quality the book is enjoyable to read, and destined to remain a milestone amongst the many, and to often useless, publications about one of the most important victories of the West.
