Few generals proved themselves better than Scanderbeg. Leader of a small army of Eagles, at the height of its power, he single-handedly could be said to have saved Europe from the jaws of the Ottoman Dragon, when a heartless Mehmed II, the Conqueror, had already captured Constantinople and wanted to carry Rome to achieve universal victory over Christianity. He would have achieved his purpose had not Scanderbeg, an Albanian Christian General, not put an obstacle to his march in Albania, for about a quarter of a century. After Scanderbeg's death, the Albanians continued their resistance for another decade. Thus, Mehmed II was delayed long enough to thwart his plans. He managed only to start his Italian invasion, and when he died his mission died with him. World-famous individuals, painters, like Bellini and Durer, composers like Vivaldi and Franc ur, philosophers like Voltaire, poets and writers like Longfellow, Byron, and Holberg, generals like Wolfe, and popes like Paul II, have all been generous enough to dedicate a part of their work to this great general. Yet, surprisingly many historians have maintained silence about Scanderbeg's fame as a general. This ingratitude brings pause to any with the knowledge regarding such a great general, one who met such success and performed so brilliantly as to be recognized among the greatest generals of all time. He was the principal deterrent in stopping the Ottoman expansion westward and in that, he was the true defender of Christendom from the danger of becoming totally Ottomanized. If, for such great deeds, he does not deserve to be mentioned in world history, who does?

Outskirts Press: An ebook takes just a moment to download. Thank You!"An Eagle Heart and Scanderbeg, General of the Eagles make great gifts" Tim Lezi. Faith is a bird that knows the dawn and sings while it is dark. Although Sevastia thinks this traditional Eastern saying describes the nightingale, it also is an apt metaphor for her, the heroine of An Eagle Heart. A young, humble Albanian woman, Sevastia is able to help save her homeland from annihilation with a last moment communication to President Woodrow Wilson.A Turkish Pasha and a Greek Orthodox priest have been in local power under the Ottoman Empire, but Sevastia and her brother Gerasim have started an Albanian school for girls despite fierce local opposition. Constantly struggling, they are only able to keep the school open because of Gerasims connections outside the country through the British Bible Society. His wide circle of contacts with American missionaries and Western European consuls stave off the local attacks on the school.When the Ottoman Empire finally begins to crumble, Albanias neighbors make plans to take over the country for themselves, but Sevastia continues to ask for support from afar from President Wilson so that the dark curtain of extinction is not pulled over her homeland forever.Because of her pleas and his own opposition to the Social Darwinism so prevalent in the European world view at that time, Albania is saved from political dismemberment.Sevastias faithful singing through that long darkness of Albanias night has ultimately allowed the country itself to know the dawn of a bright new era. Praise for An Eagle Heart: Tim Lezis debut has all the ingredients of an attractive political thriller--with assassination attempts and a last minute communiqu? to President Woodrow Wilson--woven artistically through the plot.

The struggle of the Albanian people led by George Castriota Scanderbeg to defend Europe against the assault of the Ottoman Turks has been much celebrated. For a quarter of a century, from 1443 until his death in 1468, he used his military prowess to thwart the efforts of the most powerful Empire in the world at the time to subdue his tiny country. One of the true heroes of the Middle Ages in Europe, unfortunately the remarkable story of Scanderbeg remains little known outside of Albania. George Castriota defended Europe for a quarter of a century and, it can rightly be said, helped to save Western civilization from being overrun by Islam and suffering the same fate as the once mighty Byzantine Empire. This book examines the genius and remarkable achievements of Scanderbeg who helped shape the identity of the Albanian people and reveals the important contribution this small but proud nation has made to European civilization. Although the challenges have changed over the centuries, the clash of civilizations, which the history of the Albanian struggle to fend off the Islamic onslaught illustrates, continues today. As a result, it is all the more worth noting the contribution that this tiny land, led by Scanderbeg, made in the fight to preserve Western culture and civilization. Equally important is the example set by the Albanian people in ultimately harmonizing these two great civilizations. A.K. Brackob has a Ph.D. in history from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is a specialist on the history of southeastern Europe during the Middle Ages and author of Mircea the Old: Father of Wallachia, Grandfather of Dracula.

Albania is not well known by outsiders; it was deliberately closed to the outside world during the communist era. Now it has thankfully become free again, its borders are open and it can be visited, and it is increasingly integrating with the rest of Europe and beyond. Unfortunately, Albania has had its share of problems in the post-communist era; it's a land of destitution and despair, thanks in part to the Albanian mafia, which has turned the country into one of blood-feuds, kalashnikovs, and eternal crises. Yet, Albania is, in essence, a European nation like any other and will soon, it is to be hoped, advance and take its proper place in Europe and the world. The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Albania relates the history of this little-known country through a detailed chronology, an introduction, a bibliography, appendixes, and over 700 cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, places, and events; institutions and organizations; and political, economic, social, cultural, and religious facets.
