Guns

In 1532, the tiny town of Guns is all that stood between the Ottoman Empire and Vienna. A young knight, Nikola Jurisic, inspired fewer than 1,000 villagers to stand up against the brutal daily assaults of nearly 100,000 Turks. The heroism of those defenders helped halt the Muslim takeover of Europe, and that’s why the battle of Guns is a battle you might not know, but should.
