“Bad behavior makes for entertaining history” in this bold history of Europe, the Middle East, and the men who ruled them in the early sixteenth century (Kirkus Reviews).   John Julius Norwich—“the very model of a popular historian”—is acclaimed for his distinctive ability to weave together a fascinating narrative through vivid detail, colorful anecdotes, and captivating characters. Here, he explores four leaders—Henry VIII, Francis I, Charles V, and Suleiman—who led their countries during the Renaissance (The Wall Street Journal).   Francis I of France was the personification of the Renaissance, and a highly influential patron of the arts and education. Henry VIII, who was not expected to inherit the throne but embraced the role with gusto, broke with the Roman Catholic Church and appointed himself head of the Church of England. Charles V was the most powerful man of the time, and unanimously elected Holy Roman Emperor. And Suleiman the Magnificent—who stood apart as a Muslim—brought the Ottoman Empire to its apogee of political, military, and economic power. These men collectively shaped the culture, religion, and politics of their respective domains.   With remarkable erudition, John Julius Norwich offers “an important history, masterfully written,” indelibly depicting four dynamic characters and how their incredible achievements—and obsessions with one another—changed Europe forever (The Washington Times).

Being of Turkish origin and knowing Ottoman history I found the way the author describes the characteristics of Suleyman the Magnificent, not only his warfare, but his personality, his dedication to arts, his beautiful divan and other poetry very clearly described. At the time the Ottoman Empire was the greatest state that existed. The war scenes in the European continent, The siege of Vienna, the Mohacs battle, the occupation of Belgrade, the great siege of Malta are clearly explained. Certainly they forged and altered Europe. Regarding the other three princes -- Francis I, Henry VIII, Charles V-- the explanation of their characteristics, personalities, dealings with one another were fascinating to me. It may not have been so to the professor who reviewed the book in May 7 Book Review section of the New York Times. But I am sure many people interested in other aspects of history will find the book very good.
