Acerca del libro
The Order of the Knights of St. John was, at its origin, a semi-religious body, its members being, like other monks, bound by vows of obedience, chastity, and poverty, and pledged to minister to the wants of the pilgrims who flocked to the Holy Land and to defend them on their passage to and from the sea, against attack by Moslems.
The Knights of St. John then established themselves at Acre, and after a valiant defence of that fortress, removed to Crete, and shortly afterwards to Rhodes.
The Order was the great bulwark of Christendom against the invasion of the Turks, and the tale of their long struggle is one of absorbing interest, and of the many eventful episodes none is more full of incident and excitement than the first siege of Rhodes, of which this story is based.
