Angels in Iron

The year is A.D. 1565, and the tiny island fortress of Malta, defended by the Knights of St. John Hospitallers, is all that stands between the war machine of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and the heart of Christendom. Pitifully outmatched and against impossible odds, Grand Master Jean Parisot de La Valette inspires his knights to sacrifice their lives to halt the invading Turks at the gates of Europe. Based on the actual events of the Great Siege, "Angels in Iron" brings the extreme heroism of the knights and the horror of combat sharply into focus.
