The sixteenthcentury Mediterranean witnessed the expansion of both European and Middle Eastern civilizations, under the guises of the Habsburg monarchy and the Ottoman empire. Here, Andrew C. Hess considers the relations between these two dynasties in light of the social, economic, and political affairs at the frontiers between North Africa and the Iberian peninsula. An erudite reinterpretation of sixteenthcentury Mediterranean history. . . . An impressive contribution [that is] at once a regional frontier history, a synthesis of the sixteenthcentury western Mediterranean wars, and an interpretative essay about the HapsburgOttoman imperial struggle and its aftermath.Hispanic American Historical ReviewImpressively researched, concise, and informative. . . . Convincingly explains why two empires came face to face and then turned back to back, leaving two very different and mutually antagonistic societies in their wake.Catholic Historical Review The implied scope of Hess very impressive piece of work is far greater than its title would suggest. . . . A very skillful and surehanded tour.Middle East Journal
