Empires of the Sea by Roger Crowley

Empires of the Sea by Roger Crowley

"Empires of the Sea" shows the Mediterranean as a majestic and bloody theater of war. Opening with the Ottoman victory in 1453 it is a breathtaking story of military crusading, Barbary pirates, white slavery and the Ottoman Empire - and the larger picture of the struggle between Islam and Christianity. Coupled with dramatic set piece battles, a wealth of riveting first-hand accounts, epic momentum and a terrific denouement at Lepanto, this is a work of history at its broadest and most compelling.

Roger Crowley read English at Cambridge before going to live in Istanbul. He now works in publishing and lives in Gloucestershire. Constantinople, his first book (2005) was described by Noel Malcolm in the Sunday Telegraph as 'a powerful telling of an extraordinary story, presented with a clarity and a confidence that most academic historians would envy'.
