Marcus Bull, a history professor and author of 'The Great Siege of Malta,' unfolds the gripping tale of the 1565 siege where the outnumbered Knights Hospitaller faced the formidable Ottoman Empire led by Suleiman the Magnificent. He illustrates the strategic significance of Malta and the relentless defense put up by Grand Master Jean de Valette. With discussions on the brutal tactics, disease's impact on the Ottoman forces, and the fine line between victory and defeat, Bull captures the resilience that ultimately turned the tide of the conflict.
