English | July 30, 2008 | ASIN: B001DIH1XW | M4B@64 kbps | 11h 18m | 316 MB
Author: Roger Crowley | Narrator: John Lee
Empires of the Sea tells the story of the 50-year world war between Islam and Christianity for the Mediterranean: one of the fiercest and most influential contests in European history. It traces events from the appearance on the world stage of Suleiman the Magnificent – the legendary ruler of the Ottoman Empire – through "the years of devastation" when it seemed possible that Islam might master the whole sea, to the final brief flourishing of a united Christendom in 1571.
The core of the story is the six years of bitter and bloody conflict between 1565 and 1571 that witnessed a fight to the finish. It was a tipping point in world civilization, a fast-paced struggle of spiraling intensity that led from the siege of Malta and the battle for Cyprus to the pope’s last-gasp attempt to rekindle the spirit of the Crusades and the apocalypse at Lepanto.
