Great Siege: Malta 1565 (Wordsworth Military Library.) par Ernle Bradford

Very interesting book. Narrative is very fast paced that it feels like you are reading a historical novel not a history book.

Descriptions of siege, casualties on both sides, heavy bombardment and overall destruction are very vivid.

Highly recommended for military (and general) history buffs.
