1453: Battle of Constantinople
by J
About This Novel
The book completely reproduces the pre-war preparations of both sides for the offensive and defensive war surrounding Constantinople in 1453 that was endowed with sacred significance, the unfolding of the war process, and the historical trend of the Mediterranean world after the war. The author mobilizes historical ink and paints thick and colorful portraits of the two supreme commanders, the initiator of the war, Sultan Mohammed II, and the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire, Constantine XI. At the same time, Roger Crowley uses line drawings, sketches, or light ink to depict the group portraits of the commanders, chief ministers, religious leaders, and skilled craftsmen of the two armies in the confrontation.
