TL;DR: Christians put up a good fight but eventually took that L in a big way.
Crazy to me that Mehmed was only 21 when he conquered it. I appreciated his respect of the other religious artefacts with a tasteful amount of razing.
Reading real history with all of these accounts from people that were alive at the time feels like a fantasy novel every time. It is so interesting. Glad so much of history is preserved.

Absolutely gripping and fantastic account of a brutal and moving story. Unbelievable at times and hard not to think you're reading a novel, then you remember it's all true and actually happened. Wow!! Read it!

Ein echt tolles Buch ĂŒber die letzte Schlacht um Konstantinopel. Ich habs als Hörbuch gehört und es hat mir gut gefallen. Sehr schöner ErzĂ€hlstil.
