An account of the pivot clash between the Knights Hospitaller and the Order of St John of Jerusalem and the Ottoman Empire in which the Ottomans incurred serious and heavy losses, eventually retreating. The failed invasion was a significant turning point of European history, putting an end to Turkish expansion and shattering the myth of Ottoman invincibility.
