Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book describes how, in 1532, after an 18-year absence, Sultan Suleyman, known to Europeans as the 'Magnificent', marched into Hungary, intending, like his Ottoman predecessors, to conquer Vienna and destroy Christendom. The entire continent was terrified. The author shows how Suleyman's ambition was thwarted by an extraordinary alliance between Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor, and his brother Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria and King of Hungary. Both men had spent years bitterly feuding with each other. However, they put aside their differences to face a common enemy. The ensuing confrontation became the greatest military clash of the century. This book, which draws upon new archival material, including correspondence between Charles V and his ambassadors, captains, and family, reveals how the victory was first and foremost a triumph of political diplomacy and innovative warfare, and how it proved a critical turning point in the struggle between the Ottoman Empire and Christian Europe.
