In the fevered religious atmosphere, heightened by the first massed use of artillery bombardment, both sides feared that the end of the world was nigh.The outcome of the siege, decided in a few short hours on 29 May 1453, is one of the great set-piece moments of world history.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: HistoryRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
