The siege
The siege
In the early fifteenth century Albania has refused to negotiate with the Ottoman Empire, and war is now inevitable. Turkish horses are spotted from a citadel and tens of thousands of men fill the plain below. The Siege tells the enthralling story of the weeks and months that follow - of the exhilaration and despair of the battlefield, the constantly shifting strategies of war.
