About This Book

La narrazione ricostruisce le negoziazioni e il formarsi della lega cristiana, le operazioni navali e terrestri intorno a Cipro, e le tensioni tra i comandanti mentre preparano la flotta; descrive il viaggio, le tempeste, i naufragi e le perdite, l'assedio e le manovre dell'armata, culminando nella grande battaglia navale e nelle sue immediate conseguenze. L'autore si basa su manoscritti e archivi privati, in particolare documenti collegati alla famiglia Colonna, per seguire fase per fase le decisioni, i dispacci e le circostanze che condussero allo scontro e al successivo scioglimento dell'alleanza.
