1453: The Holy War for Constantinople and the Clash of Islam and the West by Roger Crowley
fast-paced
5.0
If you only read one book about the Fall of Constantinople, make it this one. Not exaggerating to say it changed my perception of a lot of things—history, culture, and Western vs near-Eastern relations. Reads like a freaking adventure novel.
