From the fifteenth to the sixteenth century, the janissaries were the scourge of Europe. Their loyalty to their corps was infinite, as the Ottomans conquered the Balkans as far as the Danube, and Syria, Egypt and Iraq. Who were they? Why were they an elite? Why did they decline and what was their end? This book aims to answer these questions.
