1453: The Holy War for Constantinople and the Clash of Islam and the West by Roger Crowley
5.0
I dived into this book with little knowledge of the subject. It's hard to explain the wonderful state of mind I was in as I read this. It's a wonderfully detailed account of the Muslim Empire reaching it's peaking, and the city in decline, trying to avoid the inevitable. I wanted the story to never end.
