A highly illustrated account of the epic siege of the island fortress of the Knights Hospitaller by the huge Turkish Army, one of the most compelling stories in the history of the western world.
The Turks amassed an army of 30,000 men, which doubled as the siege dragged on. The knights facing them totalled 500, along with 4,000 Maltese levies and 4,500 other troops. Tim Pickles describes how despite constant pounding by the massive Turkish guns and heavy casualties, the Knights managed to hold out.
Featuring illustrations throughout, including battlescene maps, this slim volume describes the battle step by step, as well as the Order's lasting significance in modern-day Malta.
