The siege of Vienna in 1683 was one of the turning points in European history. So great was its impact that countries normally jealous and hostile sank their differences to throw back the armies of Islam and their savage Tartar allies.The consequences of defeat were momentous: The Ottomans lost half of their European territories, which led to the final collapse of their empire, and the Habsburgs turned their attention from France and the Rhine frontier to the rich pickings of the Balkans.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Some one who is untroubled by terrible narration.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Robert Feifar?
Almost anyone.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The history of the Siege and events leading up to it.
Any additional comments?
I have listened to hundreds of audiobooks and I have to say that this was probably the worst narration I have experienced. The subject included a great variety of 17th C Central European place names and people which is an obvious challenge to any narrator, but the choice of someone who intermittantly changed his pronunciation of names , could never seem to get Magyar, almost always said "Calvary" rather than "cavalry", and had a very difficult time reading clauses with understandable vocal stresses , was a terrible mistake and injustice to a good book.
