The Great Siege: Malta 1565 by Ernle Bradford

In 1565 the Ottoman Empire was at its peak. Under their Sultan, Soleyman the Magnificent, the Turks had conquered most of Easdtern Europe. The rulers of Christian Europe were at their wits end to stem the tide of disaster. The Knights of St. John, the fighting religious Order drawn from most of the nations of Christendom, had been driven from their island fortress of Rhodes forty years earlier. From their new base of Malta their galleys had been so successful in their raids on Turkish shipping that the Sultan realised that only they stood between him and total mastery of the Mediterranean. He determined to obliterate the Knights of Malta.

This brilliant reconstruction of the Siege of Malta brings history vividly alive, and carries the reader through the many battles, the heroism and the hunger to the relief which came, nearly too late, and the final victory.

Book serial number W25. Price £4.99. Fully illustrated paperback with 256 pages.

Malta 1565, Last Battles of the Crusades by Tim Pickles

The epic siege of the island fortress of the Knights Hospitaller by the Turkish army of Suliman is one of the most compelling stories in the history of the western world. With an army of 30,000 men which doubled in size as the siege dragged on, the Turks believed the small force of 500 knights plus 8500 other troops would be easily crushed. However, despite constant pounding from the Turkish siege train, heavy casualties and appalling suffering the knights managed to hold out until their relief came some 3 months later.

ARTIST
Featured Artist - David Dipnall



David Dipnals evocative images of the restful idyllic scenes of southern England are well known, epitomising, as they have for years, all that is endearing about traditional English landscapes. His well known images of his beautiful and fertile homeland are a world away from Australia, where he now spends most of his time. In the last decade, David Dipnall estimates that he has travelled nearly 2 million miles, continuing to maintain a busy work schedule of exhibitions and regularly commuting between England and Australia. His originals are highly sought after, and over fifty of his images have been published as limited edition prints, many of which have sold out. Always a traveller, he believes in the philosophy that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and his beautifully detailed traditional English landscapes are definitely painted from the heart.
