{"product_id":"constantinople-1453-david-nicolle-9781841760919","title":"Constantinople 1453: The End of Byzantium","description":"This Osprey title details the epic four-month siege of the city of Constantinople in 1453, last vestige of the once mighty Roman and Byzantine Empires. Mehmet 'The Conqueror' led an army of 80,000 men with a massive siege train against the city. Defending were a mere 10,000 men under the Emperor Constantine XI. The Turkish artillery battered the ancient city walls mercilessly, levelling a large section. A gallant defence held off the massive Turkish assault for several hours. Refusing appeals to flee, Constantine returned to the breaches and fought until overwhelmed and killed. Thus died the last Emperor of the Byzantines, and with him his once glorious empire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Nicolle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841760919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841760919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.74h x 7.22w x 0.24d","brand":"David Nicolle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44756779991295,"sku":"9781841760919","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6be0af67-c215-4f4f-96f2-af9f344cde4d.jpg?v=1706593828","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/constantinople-1453-david-nicolle-9781841760919","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
