{"product_id":"fornovo-1495-david-nicolle-9781855325227","title":"Fornovo 1495: France's Bloody Fighting Retreat","description":"In the year 1495, Charles VIII was the youthful King of France, the most powerful state in medieval Europe. A dreamer who saw himself as the saviour of Christian Europe, he believed he could roll back the ever-spreading tide of Ottoman Turkish conquest. As a base for his crusade he was determined to seize southern Italy. In a lightning campaign he used France's modern army to sweep through Italy, his mobile field artillery train smashing into dust the tall towers of Italy's medieval castles. The Italian states rallied and at Fornovo their alliance, the League of Venice, fought Charles' army to a standstill.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Nicolle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1855325225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781855325227\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 09\/15\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 7.22w x 0.36d","brand":"David Nicolle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978720870655,"sku":"9781855325227","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_800a358b-fc7e-40d4-9652-0b13cd7c3ba6.jpg?v=1683242766","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fornovo-1495-david-nicolle-9781855325227","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
