The Sovereign Military Order of Malta originated in Jerusalem in the Eleventh century from the work of Fra Gerardo Sasso, who laid the foundation of what would become the modern congregation. The book tells the history of the Order up to the present day, through a complex succession of relocations and conflicts that did not weaken its original spirit, still alive in the activity of knights and ladies around the world.
