Defenders of the West

I believe it was Asimov who said the Battle of Marathon is what saved Western civilization.

John Stuart Mill's famous opinion was that "the Battle of Marathon, even as an event in British history, is more important than the Battle of Hastings".[111] According to Isaac Asimov,"if the Athenians had lost in Marathon, . . . Greece might have never gone to develop the peak of its civilization, a peak whose fruits we moderns have inherited."

Book is stupid. It doesn't include Sob ieski. Poland saved Europe from the Turks outside Vienna.

Sobieski was given plenty of coverage in his earlier 2018 book, as the Introduction points out:

"Men that might have warranted inclusion in this book but already received a fair bit of mention in Sword and Scimitar—I especially have in mind Nikephoros II Phocas, Don Juan of Austria, and Jan Sobieski—were also passed over to make room for the others."

Sword and Scimitar by R. Ibrahim was his earlier book.

"Raymond Ibrahim’s Sword And Scimitar is a much-needed history of landmark battles between Islam and the West. Ibrahim offers eight representative engagements across time and space from France to the Middle East, and over a millennium from 636 to 1683.
The study is first and foremost riveting military history. It offers blow-by-blow concise accounts of the eight battles, and interprets them in the context of the times—or rather, takes seriously what contemporary leaders claimed were their intentions and how they worked out their strategies."
