Knights of Malta, 1523-1798

Knights of Malta, 1523-1798 by Reuben Cohen is a historical account published in the early 20th century that chronicles the history of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem from their settlement in Malta until their fall to Napoleon. The book focuses on their military confrontations with the Ottoman Empire, particularly the Siege of Malta in 1565, and details the valor of Grand Master Jean Parisot de la Valette. It also examines the Knights' decline due to internal conflicts and external pressures, culminating in their surrender in 1798, a pivotal moment in Maltese and European history.
