Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers back to one of the most intense and consequential sieges of the 16th century when the small, poorly defended town of St. Quentin endured a months-long onslaught by a massive army sent by the Spanish King Phillip II, under the command of Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy. As the noose tightens around the town and food supplies dwindle, the author focuses on the experiences of Coligny, the French admiral in charge of the town's defense, the colorful group of adventurers operating outside the law who join Coligny's cause, and Emmanuel Philibert, the brilliant, ambitious, and ruthless commander determined to conquer St. Quentin as a stepping-stone to reconquering his ancestral home of Piedmont. Through these three distinct lenses, the author brings readers into the heart of the conflict, exploring themes of loyalty, courage, sacrifice, ambition, and the devastating human cost of war.
