		By the late 1960s when I began my research on Lepanto, historians—my reference is mostly to the Anglo-Americans rather than the French… and certainly not the Spanish!—saw the battle tactically as a brainless slugging match and strategically, at best, as a missed opportunity for Christendom.
		If, in the days before the battle, sea and wind conditions had differed appreciably from those that prevailed it is most unlikely that four of the six galleasses would have been at their assigned places before the opposing fleets met and the other two close enough to weigh in before battle's end.
		In fact, at the time of Lepanto, with the exception of the Venetians, the majority of whose galleys were triremes alla sensile with twenty-four banks of oars and six oarsmen to the bank, galleys generally had twenty-four banks or more, rowed a scaloccio, with four men to an oar and eight to a bank.

		Obviously, the battle itself cannot be treated as being in a "vacuum", and the author spends much of the book in detailing the background to the conflict between Christianity and Islam, and, thereby "setting the scene" for the climactic battle between the huge galley fleets.
		The battle itself is brilliantly described, and, as with the author's previous books, he greatly helps his style of writing by utilising appendices full of relevant, and, at times almost overwhelming, information on the contending fleets.
		It is many years since a full-scale campaign and battle history of what was considered in the 16th Century to be an earth-shattering event has been written in English, and it is a pleasure to read such a book which should remain a prime source on the subject.

		When they surrendered during a battle, or when they ran afoul of the law, and then had a choice between a galley and a dungeon, most of them, with some urging from their captors and jailers, chose life on the open sea.
		In particular, a great battle between Roman Catholic countries and the Moslem Ottoman Turks over control of the Mediterranean was fought in 1571 off the coast of Greece near the "Little Dardanelles" and the shipyards of Nafpaktos, also called Lepanto, at the mouth of the Gulf of Patras.
		The battle of Lepanto was one of the last "Crusades" before modern times, before Napoleon took Egypt, before the Turks massacred the Christian Armenians, before the creation of the state of Israel on the territory of Moslem and Christian Palestine, and the reoccupation of Kuwait and Iraq, and other wars.

		Bicheno, unlike Agnus Konstam (whom our Venetian friend cites as well) has read a wide range of Lepanto secondary literature (and unlike Konstam, he seems per his bibliography to have read widely in other languages, where most of worth is to be found on the subject).
		Bicheno's bibliography reflects, if not a specialist historian's focus or insight, an admirable synthesis of the broader implications of Lepanto that Bicheno might not understand as well as he does the military play-by-play but nonetheless fearlessly addresses.
		This book is an amateurish compilation work based mainly on popular descriptions of the battle of Lepanto.
