The Battle for Central Europe
The Siege of Szigetvár and the Death of Süleyman the Magnificent and Nicholas Zrínyi (1566)
Editor:
In The Battle for Central Europe specialists in sixteenth-century Ottoman, Habsburg and Hungarian history provide the most comprehensive picture possible of a battle that determined the fate of Central Europe for centuries. Not only the siege and the death of its main protagonists are discussed, but also the wider context of the imperial rivalry and the empire buildings of the competing great powers of that age.

[...] 'The ambitions of this volume far exceed commemoration of the siege or the prominent deaths closely linked with it. The Battle for Central Europe takes up a multilayered, inter-imperial approach to a complex set of historical developments.
[...] As a commemoration of 1566, the volume succeeds in offering a detailed, multifaceted approach to the widest range of historical developments attached to Szigetvár. In fact, for such a wide-ranging set of contributions, the volume is remarkably coherent because it is organized around a relatively narrow and self-contained set of historical events. For these reasons, the volume is a welcome addition to existing scholarship.
