description: What every American needs to know about the history of Islam and the West Before there was Osama bin Laden, there was Kara Mustafa. In 1683 the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire declared a holy war—Jihad—against Europe. Riding at the head of a huge army up the Danube River, he laid siege to Vienna, Austria and threatened to take Europe in the name of Islam. In the same year, a young man was chased out of France by Louis XIV for alleged treason against the throne. Finding his way to the army of Emperor Leopold Hapsburg, he joined the battle to save Vienna from destruction. In this novel based on the true story of Prince Eugene of Savoy, Jihad tells the thrilling tale of a turning point in the history of Islam and the West. And it tells the story of a young man's determination to redeem his family's honor in the fight to save a continent.
