Given the topic of specific Christian battles against militant Islam, a Catholic who knows a little history might think of the Battle of Lepanto in 1571, a victory still commemorated today as the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. This volume tells the story of Lepanto and nine other battles against Ottoman Turks, most from the same 16th century and situated in places like Malta, Cyprus, Austria, Hungary, and Armenia. Many of these accounts are likely to be met with limited familiarity at best, which should only make the reading of these careful historical narratives all the more enriching.
