\"Constantinople\"<\/p>\n

‘Engagingly fresh and vivid . . . The 21-year-old Mehmet [the Ottoman Sultan] emerges from this book as ruthless but innovative, irascible but versatile and, above all, indefatigable \u2013 a worthy successor to Alexander and the Roman emperors he admired as much as any Muslim hero.’ Malise Ruthven, <\/p>\n

Sunday Times In the spring of 1453, the Ottoman Turks advanced on Constantinople in pursuit of an ancient Islamic dream: capturing the thousand-year-old capital of Christian Byzantium. During the siege that followed, a small band of defenders, outnumbered ten to one, confronted the might of the Ottoman army in an epic contest fought on land, sea and underground. <\/p>\n

‘In this account of the 1453 siege, written in crackling prose by former Istanbul resident Roger Crowley \u2013 his first book and not, I hope, his last \u2013 we are treated to narrative history at its most enthralling.’ Christopher Silvester, <\/p>\n

Daily Express <\/p>\n

‘A vivid and readable account of the siege . . . [And] an excellent traveller’s guide to how and why Istanbul became a Muslim city.’ Philip Mansel, <\/p>\n
