Rome's Last Emperor Faced 100,000 Enemies Alone. He Never Fled.

Описание: Constantine XI faced an impossible choice: escape and live, or die defending the city that bore his name. He chose death.

For over a thousand years, the walls of Constantinople stood unbreakable. Every empire that tried to conquer them failed. The Huns. The Persians. The Arabs. But in 1453, a twenty-one-year-old Ottoman sultan arrived with something the world had never seen before: a cannon so massive it took sixty oxen to move.

This is the story of the fifty-three day siege that ended the Roman Empire, killed the last emperor in hand-to-hand combat, and changed the course of human history. From the desperate defense on the walls to the mysterious unlocked gate that doomed a civilization, discover how Constantinople fell and why its legacy still echoes today.

The Middle Ages didn't end with a whisper. They ended with the roar of Urban's cannon.
