Quite a good history on the subject, written in an engaging way and wrapped up well. It gave enough detail for me to feel like I have a handle on what happened without getting bogged down. The root word of protestant finally clicked for me too which is fun. ( ) Being an historian, I'm always a bit leery of histories written for a more "popular" audience; they tend not to go in depth enough for me, and I'm a bit suspicious of the author's conclusions without having seen the evidence for myself. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It's a bit outside my normal period of study, but I found it both interesting and well researched. Reston provides enough detail for an academic with a passing interest in the subject without giving so much that the casual history buff is overwhelmed. This is no easy feat, and Reston is to be commended for a job well done.

A bestselling historian recounts the epic clash that ended the Renaissance and pushed Islam to the gates of Vienna In Warriors of God and Dogs of God, James Reston, Jr., brought two epochal events in the struggle between Islam and Christendom to readers eager to understand the roots of the present-day conflict. With his unwavering eye for detail, Reston now weaves a captivating narrative that examines a pivotal period in that centuries- long war, which found Europe at its most vulnerable and Islam on the attack. This saga of colliding worlds is propelled by two astonishing young sovereigns-the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and the Turkish sultan Suleyman the Magnificent-and is supported by a wide range of larger-than-life characters, who lend this meticulously researched history a novel's worth of suspense and brio.
