One hundred and thirty thousand soldiers. The Pope's blessing. The backing of every major Christian kingdom in Europe. And they were destroyed before noon.
In the autumn of 1396, the largest Crusader army ever assembled marched toward a small Ottoman-held city on the banks of the Danube, certain that numbers alone would decide what happened next. They were wrong in a way that changed the map of Europe forever and the story of how they lost is unlike anything you have read before.
If the Sky Were to Collapse reconstructs the Battle of Nicopolis with the intimacy of a thriller and the weight of a history that still echoes today. Follow Sultan Bayezid as he abandons the siege of Constantinople, rides alone through enemy lines in the dark to reach a single besieged commander, then proceeds to dismantle the finest military coalition medieval Christendom ever produced in a single morning.
Few people know that the Crusade was not lost to Ottoman strength. It was lost in a war council the night before the battle, where a 22-year-old French nobleman's wounded pride overrode the one plan that could have saved a hundred thousand men.
What you will discover inside goes far beyond a military history. This is a story about what happens when glory replaces strategy, when the loudest voice in the room wins the argument and loses the war, and when one commander's absolute clarity of purpose dismantles an enemy that had every material reason to win.
This book is for readers who want history that feels alive — narrative-driven, deeply human, and impossible to put down.
Scroll up and grab your copy today. The battle begins on the first page.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
