In 1521, Suleiman the Magnificent, Muslim ruler of the Ottoman Empire, dispatched an invasion fleet to the Christian island of Rhodes. This would prove to be the opening shot in an epic clash between rival empires and faiths for control of the Mediterranean and the center of the world. In Empires of the Sea, acclaimed historian Roger Crowley has written a thrilling account of this brutal decades-long battle between Christendom and Islam for the soul of Europe, a fast-paced tale of spiraling intensity that ranges from Istanbul to the Gates of Gibraltar. Crowley conjures up a wild cast of pirates, crusaders, and religious warriors struggling for supremacy and survival in a tale of slavery and galley warfare, desperate bravery and utter brutality. Empires of the Sea is a story of extraordinary color and incident, and provides a crucial context for our own clash of civilizations.

great flannel
Color: Orange, Size: XX-Large
finally, a flannel shirt that is not made like all other cookie-cutter flannels. this one a bit different. body is a bit shorter (1-1.5”). and sleeves, a touch longer, for each size. plus, it’s perfect thickness for early mornings in summer, or even mid-day in fall. awesome flannel shirt…. just heads up… order one size bigger than normal, and you’ll love this flannel. (especially for us men & women who have a slightly longer arms than most)

waste of money. not a flannel
Color: Purple, Size: X-Large
sizing is way off. the material isn't that of even a Walmart flannel shirt. it's a stiff crappy material. I leaned down to pick something up and I tore the shoulders of the shirt. horrible stitching.
