Even though it was originally published back in the 1960's, it didn't feel dated. I thought it was well written and gave a good sense of the time and place as well as the fighting. Sadly I notice it's now back up to normal price, but if it goes back on sale, I recommend it. JMTCW...

Thanks for your recommendation.
I recommend that people learn about this event, however they can.
I listened to an audiobook a good while back about the seige of Malta. Can't remember the title or author (that happens to me a lot with audiobooks, much more than print books). It was a significant event in world history. But, another reason that I would recommend it is that it will open your eyes to the depth of barbarity that mankind can inflict upon his fellowman. Both sides were guilty of it.
