1453: The Holy War for Constantinople and the Clash of Islam and the West by Roger Crowley

4.0

The starting point for this subject is Sir Steven Runciman, but now we have a second work. Crowley has a different slant on the events, and a different narrative style. He's still working with the same basic set of facts, though. It's a great supplement and a marvelously dramatic story.
