Overview

A history of George Castriota Scanderbeg and his resistance to Ottoman expansion in Albania during the 15th century. From 1443 to 1468 Scanderbeg led a successful resistance to Ottoman expansion into Europe. Having conquered Constantinople in 1453, the Ottomans set their sights on Rome. This book argues that Scanderbeg's success ultimately saved Italy by delaying the planned invasion by Sultan Mehmed II until 1480-1481. Published to mark the 550th anniversary of the death of George Castriota Scanderbeg in 2018, this book commemorates the heroic struggle of the Albanian people to defend their culture and civilization for which Western Civilization owes them a debt of gratitude.
