“The Great Siege of Matla” with author Bruce Ware Allen at [words]

Author Bruce Ware Allen will be at [words] Bookstore to talk about his new book “The Great Siege of Malta”.

In the spring of 1565, a massive fleet of Ottoman ships descended on Malta, a small island centrally located between North Africa and Sicily, home and headquarters of the crusading Knights of St. John. Allen stirringly recreates the two factions’ heroism and chivalry, while simultaneously tracing the barbarism, severity, and indifference to suffering of sixteenth-century warfare.

This event is free and open to the public.
