In the 1400s, the heroic Scanderbeg must defend Albania and Europe against the Ottoman Empire and his arch nemeses, Murad II and his son, Mehmed. Scanderbeg, after having been forced into service for Mehmed I and Murad II in Turkey, returns home to Albania. He tricks the Turkish soldiers stationed at the White Castle into leaving, and regains his rightful place on the throne. When Murad II hears this, he makes it his life's work to overthrow Scanderbeg and return Albania to being a territory in the Ottoman Empire, and use it to attack Rome and Western Europe. Murad II is never successful and his son, Mehmed makes it his mission as well. Many battles ensue, and Scanderbeg is betrayed by some of his closest friends, but still his forces refuse to yield to the Ottomans. Scanderbeg dies and it takes ten more years before Mehmed's troops are able to take the White Castle. But Mehmed fails to capture Rome. Even today, Scanderbeg's heroism is remembered by many for defending Western Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shpetim Lezi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1505644682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781505644685\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.49d","brand":"Shpetim Lezi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44065061601535,"sku":"9781505644685","price":19.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2087f058-d54e-4817-a42c-9b4bfd2c4d0c.jpg?v=1685399199","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scanderbeg-the-hero-of-europe-shpetim-lezi-9781505644685","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
