Summary

On October 7, 1571, on the gulf between mainland Greece and the Peloponnese, the fleets of the Ottoman Empire and the Holy League met in a battle that would prove the crux of that centurys war between Christianity and Islam. No naval battle until Jutland in 1916not even Trafalgarinvolved such numerous forces, and in no previous encounter had the Christians met with success. In this compelling piece of narrative history, Niccolo Capponi takes a fresh look at the last great battle between oared fighting galleys, which like Salamis, Waterloo and Stalingrad, halted the progress of a force that had hitherto seemed unstoppable.
