The
Last Crusader
A Novel about Don Juan of Austria
Don
Juan of Austria, one of history’s most triumphant and inspiring heroes,
is reborn in this opulent novel by Louis de Wohl.
Because of the circumstances of his birth, this last son of Emperor Charles
the Fifth spent his childhood in a Spanish peasant’s hut. Acknowledged
by King Philip as his half-brother, the attractive youth quickly became a central
figure in a Court where intrigues and romances abounded. Don Juan’s intelligence,
kindness and devout attachment to the Church enabled him to live unscathed in
an environment of luxury, violence and treachery.
De Wohl paints in brilliant color the vivid scenes and characters at the Court of King Philip, Juan’s campaign against rebel Moriscos in Andalusia, and the amazing climatic victory at Lepanto where he saved the Christian world from Islamic dominance. Here is a novel of high adventure which brings to life the turbulence of the sixteenth century with its conflicts of wickedness and piety, its sins of pride and conquest, its seething heresies and its great faith.
“Written
with zest and excitement; the battle scenes are excellent.”
– Los Angeles Times
“A
novel of heroic proportions . . . richly rewarding.”
– Christian Herald
“Color
. . . action . . .romance, splendor and intrigue reaches a flaming climax.”
– Chicago Tribune
“A
page-turning thriller. Exhilarating!”
— Joseph Pearce, Author, The Quest for Shakespeare
“In
his epic poem, Lepanto, Chesterton called Don Juan the ‘the last knight
of Europe.’ This thrilling tale is about things that really happened!”
— Dale Ahlquist, Editor, Lepanto – The Annotated Edition
“De
Wohl novels are always mentioned by my radio audience as among their favorite
reads.”
— Al Kresta, Host, Kresta in the Afternoon
