Lepanto
1571 by Angus Konstam
For much of the 16th century the
Mediterranean was a battleground between Christians and Muslims. A
decisive battle between two large galley fleets was expected to decide the
fate of the entire Mediterranean basin. In August 1571, an Ottoman
fleet of some 235 galleys encountered the slightly smaller Christian fleet
of the Holy League. In a five hour melee the Christians inflicted a
decisive defeat on the Turks. Lepanto was the last great galley
fight of all time and one of the most decisive naval battles in
history. This book details the course of one of the most crucial
military campaigns of the Renaissance.
