Before there was Osama bin Laden, there was Kara Mustafa. When he became Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, Kara Mustafa could at last pursue his greatest ambition -- the establishment of a global caliphate of Islam. Like bin Laden after him, he declared holy war on the West, and his first goal was the destruction of Vienna in 1683.
In Paris, a young nobleman was forced to flee France to escape charges of treason by Louis XIV. Eugene´s dream of becoming a great general like his father was shattered. Homeless and destitute, he rode east to join the armies of Leopold Habsburg preparing to fight the invasion from Istanbul.
Based on the life of Prince Eugene of Savoy, "Jihad" is the story of a turning point in world history. It is also the story of a young man's determination to redeem his family's honor in the fight to save a continent.
