Description
The Turkish War of 1663/64 is overshadowed by the second Turkish siege of Vienna in 1683 and the following "Great Turkish War" until 1699 with the military successes of Duke Charles V of Lorraine, Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm of Baden and Prince Eugene of Savoy - those conflicts which heralded the decline of the power of the Ottoman Empire and brought about the rise of Austria as a great power.
The series of Ottoman defeats, however, began twenty years earlier, in the war in Hungary against the armies of the imperial generals Raimondo Count Montecuccoli and Jean-Louis Raduit Count de Souches, at that time only obscured by the Peace of Eisenburg in 1664, which was favourable to the Ottoman Empire. The second and last volume on the Turkish War of 1663/64 describes the dramatic year of war in 1664: mutinies in the Transylvanian fortresses, the winter campaign of Counts Zrinski and Hohenlohe deep into Ottoman territory, the recapture of the fortresses of Neutra and Levencz, battles at Heiligenkreuz-Scharnowitz and Levencz, the siege of the fortress of Kanizsa, the fall of the fortress of Serinvár, fighting on the Raab with the decisive battle at St. Gotthard-Mogersdorf.
