This intercontinental melee is expertly re-told in this fascinating new history by historian Si Sheppard. But this is not the story of a clash of civilizations between East and West as you might assume. Europe was not united against the Turks; the scandal of the age was the alliance between King Francis I of France and Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent.
