Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author has written this novel with a sentimental feeling about the land of his ancestors, the Maltese people. A people who have shown remarkable courage and faith on many occasions in the history of the Mediterranean. The story of this book tells of their courage during the Great Siege of 1565, just as Voltaire said, No siege is better known than that of the Great Siege of Malta. The five-century-old religious fight between Christians and Muslims, known as the battle between the Cross and the Koran, drifted to the shores of Malta where the Order of St. John of Jerusalem had their headquarters. It produced many heroes and tyrants, several of these are the subject of our novel. The great Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, unchallenged emperor of the Great Ottoman Empire, tries to impose Islam over Christian Europe. During five centuries, the Christian Crusaders were slowly expelled from the Holy Land, and now the great Sultan drives out the Order of St. John of Jerusalem from their last stronghold, the fortress in the island of Rhodes. Then the battle shifts to the brave Island of Malta where its people play an important role in helping La Valette and the Order fight the Turks. Jean De La Valette, commander of the Orders Christian navy, knight-adventurer, and defender of the faith, engages famous Muslim pirates, like Barbarossa and Dragut Reis, and harasses on the huge Turkish navy. He seeks to recover the Holy Cross taken by the Saracens. The secret of a forbidden romance in the paradise island of Rhodes haunts this warrior monk of eighty-four battlesa unique man enslaved by the Saracens and then escapes. He is later elevated to the position of grand master of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem and Rhodes. He was considered by his peers to be the man for the moment restoring the order to its former glory. One man, Jean De La Valette, the greatest of the grand masters, the rarest of human beings, defeats the Sultans Ottoman army in the Great Siege of Malta in 1565. La Valette became known as the Scourge of Africa and Asia, the Shield of Europe, fearless and indomitable, by his Holy Arms. With only seven hundred Knights and several thousand Spanish, Italian, Portuguese soldiers and fifteen thousand Maltese civilians (men, women, and children alike), he repels the great Turkish army of over forty thousand troops. A great historical novel of a great man and a valiant and victorious people, the people of Malta.

Download or read book Angels in Iron written by Nicholas C. Prata and published by Arx Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is A.D. 1565 and the tiny island fortress of Malta, defended by an anachronistic crusading order called the Knights of St. John Hospitallers, is all that stands between the war machine of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and the very heart of Christendom. Pitifully outmatched and against impossible odds, the indomitable Grand Master Jean Parisot de La Valette nevertheless inspires his knights to "strike a blow for Christ" and sacrifice their lives to halt the invading Turks at the gates of Europe. Nicholas Prata relates the actual events of the Great Siege in riveting and graphic prose which brings the extreme heroism of the knights and the horror of combat sharply into focus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ing. Joseph Amato was born on the island of Malta during the years of WWII and started his sailing days while the island was a major British naval base in the Mediterranean. Having received his education at St. Augustines College and later his engineering apprenticeship at the then Royal Naval Dockyard in Malta, he went on to follow a thirty-year sea-going career in the British Mercantile Marine, starting from coastal British and European ports, Baltic and Irish seas as far as Spitzbergen, Greenland and Icelandic ports. At twenty-nine years he obtained his class I, followed with a tanker endorsement on steam and motor propulsion and moved on to deep sea shipping, engaging himself on long distance voyaging, and as requested by various shipping companies. Now Joseph has retired from pushing tankers (VLCC) around the globe and prefers to enjoy his days afloat, propelled by the wind on his ketch-rigged sailing boat.

Download or read book The Europeanisation of Party Politics in Malta written by Jean Claude Cachia and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the Europeanisation of party politics in Malta. It evaluates the influence of Europeanisation on the political system, which is based on two party-system, polarisation, and clientelism. Malta is the smallest European Union (EU) member state, which joined the EU in 2004. The road toward membership was fraught with contentious and emotionally charged debates. This book explores the relationship between Maltese political parties and the EU, the politicisation and framing of the European Union by political parties, and the impact of the European Union on Malta’s political system. The book further discusses more contentious recent events which made headlines at the EU level, including the Panama Papers scandals, the Individual Investment Programme, and the assassination of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. The book will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers of political science and international relations interested in a better understanding of electoral studies, Europeanisation, European integration, as well as the Maltese political system, and party politics.
