Download The Siege Of Belgrade 1456 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The siege of Belgrade, Battle of Belgrade, or the siege of Nándorfehérvár was a military blockade of Belgrade that occurred July 4-22, 1456. After the fall of Constantinople in 1453, the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror rallied his resources to subjugate the Kingdom of Hungary. In 1456 a young man stood looking at a fortress on a ridge where the River Sava meets the River Danube. The young man was Mehmed, Sultan of the Ottomans. The fortress was Belgrade. As Sultan, Mehmed was a Ghazi, a warrior of Islam, sworn to crush infidels and expand the borders of the Ottoman Caliphate. Three years earlier, at the age of twenty-one, Mehmed had shocked the Christian world by capturing Constantinople, the seat of Emperors. After entering the ancient city in triumph he declared himself the new Caesar. His exploits earned him the title of Conqueror. Mehmed would go on to expand his Empire in Europe, forever changing the course of its history. Defending the fortress was a small band of a few thousand mercenaries, against seventy thousand Ottoman troops. The King of Hungary had fled to Vienna, his nobles abstained from the fight. Europe, exhausted from disastrous Crusades and internecine wars looked on with impotence and apathy. Belgrade did not quite stand alone, however. Janos Hunyadi, the great Hungarian military commander, marched to the aid of the beleaguered citadel. He had bested the Turks in many battles, but defeats at Varna in 1444 and Kosovo in 1448 had weakened his influence among his people. He relied on a few thousand mercenaries against the might of the Ottoman Empire.

'Undoubtedly the most powerful and immediate book to emerge from the Balkan horror of ethnic civil war' Antony Beevor, Daily Telegraph In 1993, Anthony Loyd hitchhiked to the Balkans hoping to become a journalist. Leaving behind him the legends of a distinguished military family, he wanted to see 'a real war' for himself. In Bosnia he found one. The cruelty and chaos of the conflict both appalled and embraced him; the adrenalin lure of the action perhaps the loudest siren call of all. In the midst of the daily life-and-death struggle among Bosnia's Serbs, Croats and Muslims, Loyd was inspired by the extraordinary human fortitude he discovered. But returning home he found the void of peacetime too painful to bear, and so began a longstanding personal battle with drug abuse. This harrowing account shows humanity at its worst and best. It is a breathtaking feat of reportage; an uncompromising look at the terrifyingly seductive power of war. 'As good as reporting gets. I have nowhere read a more vivid account of frontline fear and survival. Forget the strategic overview. All war is local' Martin Bell, The Times

Download The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The book that is providing a storm of controversy, from ‘Israel’s bravest historian’ (John Pilger) Renowned Israeli historian, Ilan Pappe's groundbreaking work on the formation of the State of Israel. 'Along with the late Edward Said, Ilan Pappe is the most eloquent writer of Palestinian history.' NEW STATESMAN Between 1947 and 1949, over 400 Palestinian villages were deliberately destroyed, civilians were massacred and around a million men, women, and children were expelled from their homes at gunpoint. Denied for almost six decades, had it happened today it could only have been called 'ethnic cleansing'. Decisively debunking the myth that the Palestinian population left of their own accord in the course of this war, Ilan Pappe offers impressive archival evidence to demonstrate that, from its very inception, a central plank in Israel’s founding ideology was the forcible removal of the indigenous population. Indispensable for anyone interested in the current crisis in the Middle East. *** 'Ilan Pappe is Israel's bravest, most principled, most incisive historian.' JOHN PILGER 'Pappe has opened up an important new line of inquiry into the vast and fateful subject of the Palestinian refugees. His book is rewarding in other ways. It has at times an elegiac, even sentimental, character, recalling the lost, obliterated life of the Palestinian Arabs and imagining or regretting what Pappe believes could have been a better land of Palestine.' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT 'A major intervention in an argument that will, and must, continue. There's no hope of lasting Middle East peace while the ghosts of 1948 still walk.' INDEPENDENT
