About the book

Francisco Balbi di Correggio's account of the Great Siege of Malta describes the Ottoman Empire's 1565 assault on the island defended by the Knights Hospitaller and Maltese forces. As an eyewitness and participant, Balbi records battles, fortifications, commanders and the extraordinary endurance of the defenders. His narrative is a major contemporary source for one of the sixteenth century's most dramatic Mediterranean conflicts.
