First of all full marks to Helion for publishing this work as it's a topic that is pretty obscure and to do a volume that is substantial and well illustrated is a feather in their cap. Bruno Mugnai is both the author and artist for this work which is fine as he is one of the best in the field and his work will make him more well-known in the future. He has published similar books on other 17th century conflicts in the Mediterranean but these haven't been in English so this is a new departure. I found this to be a fascinating backwater of military history and a must have for those interested in 17th century military history.
Very interested in this one. I can feel an Ottoman purchase coming around sooner than I wanted.
ReplyDeleteYes, this sounds very interesting. I may have to get a copy. Thanks for the announcement.
