As a Janissary, Konstantin was an eyewitness to important events such as Sultan Mehmet II's sieges of Belgrade and Constantinople in 1453 and the campaign against Count Dracula. In 1463, his garrison of Janissaries was captured by the Hungarian king, and he opportunistically redeclared his Christian faith. He drew on his unique first-hand experience with the Turks to write his memoirs, which became a "bestseller" in Central and Eastern Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. These memoirs were published as a cautionary tale about the heathen customs of the Turks, and as a guide to military practices and customs of the Turkish army. One reason for its success was that the Turks had not only overrun the Balkans but also threatened the heart of Europe with sieges of Vienna between 1529 and 1683. Mihailović provides salient details of Turkish military subterfuge, the Turks' disregard for truce agreements, and their shocking actions during the battles and beyond, including the standard beheading of the captured kings. The siege and conquest of Constantinople and Trebizond reads like a chronicle of treachery, yet also of military genius. Mihailović describes magnificent court scenes and encounters with the great Khans of the Tatars and with Hungarian and Serbian kings, as well as scenes from daily life in the Ottoman Empire. -- Back cover. 000710499 546__ $$aTranslated from the Czech. 000710499 60010 $$aMichałowicz, Konstanty,$$dapproximately 1435- 000710499 650_0 $$aTurks$$zSerbia. 000710499 651_0 $$aSerbia$$xHistory$$yTo 1456$$vSources. 000710499 651_0 $$aTurkey$$xHistory$$vSources. 000710499 7001_ $$aSoucek, Svatopluk. 000710499 7001_ $$aStolz, Benjamin A.,$$etranslator. 000710499 85200 $$bgen$$hDR439$$i.M5613$$i2011 000710499 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:710499$$pGLOBAL_SET 000710499 980__ $$aBIB 000710499 980__ $$aBOOK
