description: In The Battle for Central Europe specialists in sixteenth-century Ottoman Habsburg and Hungarian history provide the most comprehensive picture possible of a battle that determined the fate of Central Europe for centuries. Not only the siege and the death of its main protagonists are discussed but also the wider context of the imperial rivalry and the empire buildings of the competing great powers of that age.Contributors include Gbor goston Jnos B.
