First of all, this wasn't "the last great siege": Belgrade, Malta, Vienna were all great sieges *after* Constantinople. This seems to be simply a re-tread from "1453" - which wasn't that great and was itself a re-tread of other books. For a much better account, read Mansell on Constantinople or even Runciman on the siege.

I'm not sure if this is historically accurate but it sure is a colourful yet compelling sweeping of late Byzantium history. Cool. I so wanna go Istanbul now.
