The prominent British historian Ernl Bradford, a specialist in the Mediterranean, vividly and clearly described in his book the history of the knights of the sovereign military order of St. John of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Maltese. Starting with the founding of the order by brother Gerard during the Crusades, the author traces his ups and defeats for many centuries of existence, tells how the Order wandered around the world after expelling from Jerusalem, then from Rhodes and Malta. The military valor of the order reached the highest point when the knights achieved an amazing victory over the Turks, justifying their name for the shield of Europe. Napoleon expelled the knights from their last island house - from Malta. It would seem that the order was over. But no. The Order of St. John, like a bird of Phoenix, has been revived from the ashes and continues to exist so far
