• Manzikert, which marked the beginning of the fight
• Wallachia, where Vlad II, the real “Dracula,” carried out a personal crusade against the Turks (to such good effect that his name strikes terror down to the present day)
• Mohács, “the Tomb of Hungary”
• Vienna (the siege of 1529), the first setback experienced by Süleymân the Magnificent, perhaps the greatest ruler the Ottoman Turks ever knew
• Szigetvár (known as the “Hungarian Alamo”)
• And five others!
The accounts of the battles are enlivened and expanded with historical footnotes and introductions. Though less well known than the struggle to retake Spain and Southern France, the battlefields of Armenia and Eastern and Central Europe were just as crucial (if not more so) to preserve Christendom.
