Description

A brilliantly written analysis not only of the events surrounding the army’s invasion of Rome in 1527, but also of its long-term effects on the city and European culture. The author, with great care, recreates the dramatic moments that Rome experienced, showing not only the brutality of the attack, but also the heroism of the defenders, their thoughts and the impact that the event had on the further development of modern Europe. Morawski combines in-depth knowledge with literary flair, making the book not only a valuable historical source, but also a fascinating read.
