Recensioner i media

[...] '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.Christopher Markiewicz, University of Birmingham, in Turkish Historical Review, vol.10, nos.2-3, 2019
