The Siege Of Vienna: A Story Of The Turkish War In 1683 (1880) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781104339265)

The Siege of Vienna: A Story of the Turkish War in 1683 is a historical novel written by J. Latchmore and published in 1880. The book is set during the 17th century when the Ottoman Empire was expanding its territories and attempting to conquer Vienna, the capital of the Holy Roman Empire. The novel follows the story of a young man named Karl, who is a soldier in the Austrian army and is sent to defend Vienna against the invading Turkish forces. The book provides a vivid description of the siege of Vienna, including the battles, the tactics used by both sides, and the suffering of the civilians caught in the middle. It also explores the political and religious tensions of the time, as the Ottoman Empire was a Muslim power and the Holy Roman Empire was predominantly Catholic. The Siege of Vienna is a gripping tale of courage, sacrifice, and survival, as Karl and his fellow soldiers fight to protect their city and their way of life. The novel is based on historical events and characters, and the author has done extensive research to ensure accuracy in his portrayal of the era. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in history, military strategy, or the clash of civilizations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
