Great Siege: Malta 1565 (Wordsworth Military Library.) di Ernle Bradford

Very interesting book. Narrative is very fast paced that it feels like you are reading a historical novel not a history book.

Descriptions of siege, casualties on both sides, heavy bombardment and overall destruction are very vivid.

Highly recommended for military (and general) history buffs.

The Great Siege: Malta 1565 di Ernle Bradford

Excellent. Historically accurate and narratively enthralling, this book inspires me to courage and fortitude in defense of my faith. Inspiring... is the perfect descriptor. I would definitely recommend this to myself to read it again.

Not being religious I don’t have a great deal of knowledge about Saul/Paul so I don’t know if Paul the Traveller fills in any gaps on his life and beliefs but I walked away knowing a bit more about Paul the Apostle than I did before so that’s something.… (altro)
