Description
The year is 1478. Europe is under attack. Ten years after the death of their champion, Scanderbeg, the Albanians and the Venetians continue to resist the Turks, defending their fatherland and buying time for Western Europe to prepare for the coming onslaught. History has long overlooked the heroic contribution of the Albanians to slowing the Ottoman machine intent on conquering all of Europe. Marin Barleti gives the world a thrilling firsthand account – simple men and women fighting for their families, fields and faith. Watch from the castle's parapets and see Turkish hordes whitewashing the fields below with their tents and squadrons. Learn how janissaries were trained and how new military cannons were ushered into the history of warfare. See how the outnumbered citizens foiled the invaders' furious attacks. Even though the sultan is defeated and forced to retreat, he maintains the siege of Shkodra until the Venetian Senate cedes it to as an ultimatum for peace.The crest – fallen citizens of Shkodra choose emigration over subjugation, sailing across the Adriatic to safe harbor in Venice. With the Albanian coastline under his control, the sultan can finally set his control, the sultan can finally set his attention upon Western Europe.
