Description

The Siege of Malta 1565 by Francisco Balbi di Correggio

In 1565, the Knights of St. John, inspired by the magnificent leadership of Grand Master La Valette, withstood for five long months countless assaults by the vastly superior forces of Suleiman the Magnificent. As a record of courage and endurance, their story, told by a simple arquebusier, is an incredible document. This translation, marking the four hundredth anniversary of the epic defence, was the first to be published in England.
